Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings.

There are no original ideas. There are only original people.

Kindness and intelligence don't always deliver us from the pitfalls and traps: there are always failures of love, of will, of imagination. There is no way to take the danger out of human relationships.

I refuse to believe that trading recipes is silly. Tuna Fish casserole is at least as real as corporate stock.

Belief in the absence of illusions is itself an illusion.

Beware of people carrying ideas. Beware of ideas carrying people.
