With electricity we were wired into a new world, for electricity brought the radio, a "crystal set" and with enough ingenuity, one could tickle the crystal with a cat's whisker and pick up anything.

We lost pressure with the gas. It's not like the electricity where you can just switch it back on. You have to go into each place and turn it off at the meter. We are doing a lot of knocking.

You can't get unless you give. And you have to give without wanting to get.

The flood of money that gushes into politics today is a pollution of democracy.

Generally students are the best vehicles for passing on ideas, for their thoughts are plastic and can be molded and they can adjust the ideas of old men to the shape of reality as they find it in villages and hills of China or in ghettos and suburbs of America.

The best time to listen to a politician is when he's on a stump on a street corner in the rain late at night when he's exhausted. Then he doesn't lie.
