... anything a powerful group has is perceived as good, no matter what it is, and anything a less powerful group has is not so good, no matter how intrinsically great it might be.

The dogma is that that dogma is a mistake.

I am terminally sentimental about graduations. They are more individual than weddings, more conscious than christenings, or bar mitzvahs or bat mitzvahs. They are almost as much a step into the unknown as funerals-though I assure you, there is life after graduation.

In every century, there are a handful of writers who help the human race to evolve. Andrea is one of them.

Our own lives feel so disordered and confusing, so it's amazing to me that the filmmakers caught the personal, emotional high points and low points of my life and not just the public aspects.

The Internet is an almost miraculous way of getting information, of finding and organizing with each other, both minutely and globally. A million times better than the phone and the mimeograph! Also much better than TV, which is one-way and passive.

Whoever has power takes over the noun - and the norm - while the less powerful get an adjective.

The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home.

Most writers write to say something about other people - and it doesn't last. Good writers write to find out about themselves - and it lasts forever.

What I think we need to do is infuse everyday and every action with the kind of values we hope will be in the future, with kindness, with nurturing, with dreams, ambition, using your talents, not resorting to violence, other forms of conflict resolution, with humor, with poetry, with music.

Elephants are so wise and so funny and so endangered and so intelligent. I just think there is a lot to learn from them.

A person who has experienced something is almost always far more expert on it than are the experts.

It's an incredible con job when you think about it, to believe something now in exchange for something after death. Even corporations with their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.

I am not now, and never have been, a girlfriend of Henry Kissinger.

Self-esteem starts out as a personal blessing, but it becomes nothing less than an evolutionary force.
