“Putting the word democratic in front of your Socialism doesn't make it any inherently more moral nor less violent.”

“For Buddhism, however, the basic moral law is inherent in life itself. It is a special case of the law of cause and effect, needing neither a divine law-giver nor depending upon the fluctuating human conceptions of socially-conditioned minor moralities and conventions.”

“A word to the wise is not sufficient if it doesn't make any sense.”

“The more you read, the less apt you are to make a fool of yourself with your pen or word processor.”

“Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.”

“… yelling doesn't make a thing any more possible.”

“The Social Democratic movement need have no fear in regard to the political activity of Trotsky. On the contrary, he is more likely to give the death blow to the Communist movement outside Russia and to induce the Communist workers to return to Social Democracy than to strengthen any Communist Party or to weaken the Social Democrats in any way.”

“When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more, nor less.”

“I think we have to say it's okay to be angry. It's not all right to be violent. I know it would make people happy if I said I could wave my hand and make people behave less violently. I am not that presumptuous. We have a moral responsibility to share the resources of this country.”

“The word love has become so devalued, we have to put words in front of it, like 'unconditional'.”
