"For every apparent gain, in short, we now observe a balancing danger. This is the world we have created."

"We don't know what the future will bring, but that's because we are ever in the process of creating it, not because it is an alien force to which we have to submit."

"Socrates was likewise right that pissing people off is how we first, and maybe best, go about the business of provoking thought."

"Ambition is ever tempered by experience. Otherwise, fortune makes fools of us all."

"Our desires are never wholly transparent, even to ourselves."

"How doe we create the world we want, rather than a world that just happens to us?"

"Dreams are evidence that we are creatures who produce more meaning than we can ourselves understand."

"All social space is suffused with political meanings and agendas, the very stones and walls a kind of testament to the ongoing struggles for liberation and justices."
