“Cars are environmental enemy number one.
(from an interview in Attitude, 2002)”
“Cars are evolving to match the new paradigm. Soon, things like steering wheels, pedals and rear-view mirrors will seem ancient. More practically, we will all be better able to optimize our time and attention to focus on more important tasks, family, work, and self care.”
“Cars are good for entrances and exits. And there is something about driving that is quite cliched in a funny way. I like Roy Orbison's video for I Drove All Night because it's so literal. It is just a man driving throughout the night. I like that silliness. To be in a video is a ridiculous thing. It's almost impossible to do it without any humour.”
“Cars are like children: It's hard to say that any one is more special than the other. There are little things about each car that you come to love, whether it's the look, the steering wheel, the way it drives, or even the way it drives differently when you put the top up. They all have identities; they have spirits and characteristics that are truly endearing in some way.”

“Cars are the most central thing in America, in a lot of ways. They've probably influenced the way we live more than anything else, and yet every really big problem - whether it's the environment or who dictates the international economy because of oil - is all tied to cars. Ultimately, cars are bad for civilization. I don't know if they'll end us.”
“Cars are the reason we, you know, people live or die.”
“Cars are the sculptures of our everyday lives”
“Cars aren't merely modes of transit or material possessions to Texans; they are something of a state treasure.

“Cars can have a hypnotic effect. You can get in a car and get out and not really remember the trip.”

Not seeing, I imagine, three innocent black boys being harassed by racist police officers. Seeing three black criminals being brought to justice. Young minds being shaped into wrong thinking. Generational ignorance being reinforced through misconstrued observation.”

“Cars with flames painted on the hood might get more speeding tickets. Are the flames making the car go fast? No. Certain things just go together. And when they do, they are correlated. It is the darling of all human errors to assume, without proper testing, that one is the cause of the other.”

“Carta a Mis Soldados
Soy sólo el comienzo – el comienzo de nuevos humanos – humanos que pertenecen no a una cultura, sino a muchas culturas – humanos que hablan no un idioma, sino muchos idiomas – humanos que estudian las escrituras y la ciencia con igual entusiasmo, pero que no juran lealtad a ninguna de las dos, y saben cómo usar ambas en beneficio de la humanidad - humanos que no buscan ni la creencia ni la incredulidad, sino la calidez y la comprensión - humanos que están más preocupados por el problema realmente difícil de la inhumanidad que por el anticuado problema de la conciencia - humanos que sacrifican su vida resolviendo la cuestión primitiva del odio, en lugar de la cuestión mítica de dios. Soy sólo el comienzo - puedes decir, el primer fuego - lo mejor está por llegar.”

“Carta aos Meus Soldados:
Eu sou apenas o começo - o começo de um novo tipo de humanos - humanos que pertencem não a uma cultura, mas a muitas culturas - humanos que falam não uma língua, mas muitas línguas - humanos que estudam as escrituras e a ciência com igual entusiasmo, mas que se comprometem lealdade a nenhum deles, e sabem como usar ambos em benefício da humanidade - humanos que não visam nem a crença nem a descrença, mas sim o calor e a compreensão - humanos que estão mais preocupados com o problema atual da desumanidade do que com os problemas ultrapassados da filosofia - humanos que sacrificam suas vidas tratando a verdadeira questão do ódio, em vez da questão mítica de Deus. Sou apenas o começo – a primeira faísca – o melhor ainda está por vir.”

“Carter had diagnosed a political regime in deep trouble, one that would have to alter radically the way it worked in order to meet the problems of the day. Yet, he came to power to rejuvenate that regime rather than repudiate it, to save it rather than destroy it. As the order-affirming and order-shattering dimensions of this project had virtually the same referents, Carter convened a politics in which he could not win for winning. To make his critique credible, he would have to offer potent prescriptions for changing the way government did business. But the more potent his prescriptions, the harder he would have to fight his ostensible allies to secure them; and the harder he had to fight to administer his remedies, the more elusive his case for the vitality of the regime would become. Earnest in the pursuit of his objectives, he could not but drive the disjunction between the regime and the nation beyond repair. The very relationship that Carter sought to carry on with the political establishment served to magnify the problems he had ostensibly come to Washington to resolve.”
