  7. We Americans want contradictory things from the health-care system; we want unlimited medical care without unlimited spending.... We want limits for society as a whole, but not for any of the individuals in it.... We remain hostage to our own optimism that all things are possible. But choices exist, and, even if we evade them, they will not evade us.

  8. Words do have power. Names have power. Words are events, they do things, change things. They transform both speaker and hearer; they feed energy back and forth and amplify it.

  10. People are asking me about the race problem.... I know of no race problem. The great problem that confronts the American people to-day is a national problem -- whether this great nation of ours is great enough to live up to its own convictions, carry out its own declaration of independence, and execute the provisions of its own constitution.
    -- Frederick Douglass (1893)

  11. Knowledge gained through experience of plants and animals is not an inferior substitute for proper scientific knowledge; it is the real thing. Direct experience is the only way to build up an understanding that is not only intellectual but intuitive and practical, involving the senses and the heart as well as the rational mind. Scientific investigations can illuminate and enrich this direct practical knowledge, but they are no substitute for it; indeed, they depend on it themselves.
    -- Rupert Sheldrake (The Rebirth of Nature)

  13. Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot.

  16. Brilliance has always coexisted quite comfortably with trash in any genre, and the same is already true of interactive media. . . . A good interactive title chooses the best information from all the media at its disposal and combines them into something indefinable yet powerful. . . . Any form of communication is meaningless unless we have something to say.

  17. I do think that if I had to choose one word to which hope can be tied it is hospitality. A practice of hospitality -- recovering threshold, table, patience, listening, and from there generating seedbeds for virtue and friendship on the one hand -- on the other hand radiating out for possible community, for rebirth of community.
    -- Ivan Illich (1996 Interview)

  20. History has to be rewritten in every generation because, although the past does not change, the present does; each generation asks new questions of the past, and finds new areas of sympathy as it re-lives different aspects of the experiences of its predecessors.

  21. Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.

  22. If a system becomes weak enough and the opposition divided enough, if the ruling order is corrupt enough and people are angry enough, extremists can suddenly step into the center, where no one expects them. And after that it can take decades to undo the damage.
