We survive day by day on this planet by adjusting down, adjusting down. Little by little, imperceptibly, we adjust to increasingly deadly conditions, and come to accept them as 'natural' or inevitable.

I'm one of the few people in this world who can do anything I choose. I can't tell you how good I'm feeling.

We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.

We don't need someone to show us the ropes. We are the ones we've been waiting for. Deep inside us we know the feelings we need to guide us. Our task is to learn to trust our inner knowing.

It's funny how heterosexuals have lives and the rest of us have "lifestyles."

As we do at such times I turned on my automatic pilot and went through the motions of normalcy on the outside, so that I could concentrate all my powers on surviving the near-mortal wound inside.

Some people always assume that if you mention a problem, you caused it.
