“I raised you so high that every other man on earth is now doomed to live in your shadow.”

“Mogo living brings about true freedom. When you have the inner conviction to do the most good and the least harm, you are free to say no to media, social, and peer pressures. You are free from a nagging sense that your life does not have value or meaning. You are free to imagine and then create a truly successful (in the deepest meaning on the word) life. You are free to be at peace with yourself and all those whom your life touches.”

“We can act to deal with the consequences of the earthquake and tsunami, but the disaster was only faintly political in the economics and indifference...the relief will be very political, in who gives how much (Bush offering 15 million, then 35 million under pressure, the cost of his inauguration and then 350 million under strong international pressure)...but the event itself transcends politics, the realm of things we cause and can work to prevent. We cannot wish that human beings were not subject to the forces of nature, including the mortality... we cannot wish for the seas to dry up, that the waves grow still, that the tectonic plates ceast to exist, that nature ceases to be beyond our abilities to predict and control... But the terms of that nature include such catastrophe and suffering, which leaves us with sorrow as not a problem to be solved but a fact. And it leaves us with compassion as the work we will never finish”

“If I know that a man is cruel to his Beast, I ask no more questions about him. He may be a noble man, or a rich man, or a polite man, or a sensible man, or a learned man, or an orthodox man, or a church man, or a puritan, or any thing else, it matters not; this I know, on the sacred word of a wise King, that, being cruel to his beast, he is a WICKED man.”

“Dapatkah kukatakan bahwa seni adalah pilihanku dan keinginanku tapi bahwa aku kebetulan seorang perempuan? Bahwa sejak masa kanak-kanakku telah kutolak sifat keperempuananku karena sifat itu bukan diriku, bukan buatanku, tapi buatan dunia yang penuh dengan kejantanan tapi tanpa laki-laki? Dapatkah kukatakan bahwa kuhadapi hidup ini hanya dengan kecerdasannya sedikit, tapi dengan perasaan cinta yang banyak? Bahwa aku tidak memuji kecerdasan, walaupun kupunyai diploma-diploma kedokteran, karena dunia di sekitar kita yang mencetak kecerdasan kita? Dan karena dunia ini palsu, dunia ini telah membuat kecerdasan kita palsu pula. Dalam revolusi kita menentang dunia ini, harus kita lawan cerdasnya nalar kita sendiri. Dapatkah kukatakan semua ini? Dan seandainya aku harus mengatakannya, apakah akan ada orang yang memercayaiku?”
