When people say, 'You're not being realistic,' they're just trying to tag some thoughts that they can't otherwise handle.

I don't think we have very good records about what they were thinking except, as I pointed out earlier today, that they did invent our political system.

The more we pour the big machines, the fuel, the pesticides, the herbicides, the fertilizer and chemicals into farming, the more we knock out the mechanism that made it all work in the first place.

I think that, in almost all human beings, there is buried a profound tribal instinct that makes us very susceptible to being aroused to patriotic fervour.

Jesus is the very concrete truth revealing and standing in for the universal truth.
