To me, what socialism means is to guarantee a basic level of dignity. It's asserting the value of saying that the America we want and the America that we are proud of is one in which all children can access a dignified education. It's one in which no person is too poor to have the medicines they need to live.

And that's actually the brunt of what we do is, people going straight from their workplace, straight from home, straight into the classroom and working directly with the students. So then we're able to work with thousands and thousands more students.

Jonathan Franzen

Nothing is so much to be feared as fear

Henry David Thoreau

Every man needs slaves like he needs clean air. To rule is to breathe, is it not? And even the most disenfranchised get to breathe. The lowest on the social scale have their spouses or their children.

Albert Camus

I believe in universal health care. And I am not afraid to say so.

Stephen Hawking

The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence, and educational advantages, but what he will do with the things he has.
