A rebellion is something that is developing as an explosion coming out of the righteous grievances of a community of people.

I believe that we are at the point now, in the United States, where a movement is beginning to emerge.

Nonviolence is essentially based on recognizing the humanity in every one one of us.

We're at a great transition point in terms of population, demographics, and what it means to be a human being.

Really, people are not a school of fish. Finding the leaders of the future is a question of recognizing those people who give leadership in a crisis.

This capitalist society has not lasted forever; it's only a few hundred years old.

I think it's really important that we get rid of the idea that protest will create change.

I think that at some level, people recognize that growing our economy is destroying us. It's destroying us as human beings, it's destroying our planet.

Wage work is disappearing. I didn't make the jobs disappear, but they have disappeared. And people are forced to be looking for other alternatives.

We have to see today in light of the transition, say, from hunting and gathering to agriculture, and from agriculture to industry, and from industry to post-industry. We're in an epoch transition.
