When you have no real power, go public -- really public. The public is where the real power is.

For if there is one thing I have learned over the years about men, it is that feelings of powerlessness do not usually bring forth their finest qualities.

I know how to make myself happy, but I don't know how to make you happy.

I do forget sometimes how much it means for certain men—for certain people—to be able to provide their loved ones with material comforts and protection at all times. I forget how dangerously reduced some men can feel when that basic ability has been stripped from them. I forget how much that matters to men, what it represents.

Washing one's hands of the conflict between the powerful and the powerless means to side with the powerful, not to be neutral.

Big corporations have money and power to make sure every rule breaks their way; people have voices and votes to push back.
