I am a universalist passionately devoted to the cause of equality within the human family.

A fascinating challenge facing today's environmental movement is how to best approach the reversal of past decisions that altered once-pristine environmental spaces for the sake of urgent man-made needs.

In England literary pretence is more universal than elsewhere from our method of education.

Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments and if need be supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.

I'm committed to universal health coverage and education.

The question is will we continue to fight what may be a rearguard action to defend universal literacy as a central goal of our education system or are we bold enough to see what's actually happening to our culture?

I'm no politician. I'm an historian who has learned through a lifetime of studying that nothing in the world beats universal education.

Versatility of education can be found in our best poetry but the depth of mankind should be found in the philosopher.

Universal education is not only a moral imperative but an economic necessity to pave the way toward making many more nations self-sufficient and self-sustaining.

The truth is in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.

I was very inspired by Les Blank's film 'Burden of Dreams.' I think what's unique about his film and the two I've made is that they're close examinations of filmmakers and how their own emotional experiences reflect in the material they're rendering and vice versa - how that material sometimes colors their own lives.

What's interesting is for myself when I become really attracted to somebody I find them in my dreams... conversations nothing more.

The very fact that we are having a national conversation about what we should eat that we are struggling with the question about what the best diet is is symptomatic of how far we have strayed from the natural conditions that gave rise to our species from the simple act of eating real whole fresh food.

The New Testament evinces its universal design in its very style which alone distinguishes it from all the literary productions of earlier and later times.

I do believe that there are some universal cognitive tasks that are deep and profound - indeed so deep and profound that it is worthwhile to understand them in order to design our displays in accord with those tasks.

Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought - asleep. When we are weary of the living we may repair to the dead who have nothing of peevishness pride or design in their conversation.

The writer crafts their ideal world. In my world everyone has really long conversations or just picks apart pop culture to death and everyone talks in monologue.

But then I'm one of those guys that is still a bit afraid of the telephone its implications for conversation. I still wonder if the jukebox might be the death of live music.

That which is so universal as death must be a benefit.

No society has been able to abolish human sadness no political system can deliver us from the pain of living from our fear of death our thirst for the absolute. It is the human condition that directs the social condition not vice versa.

An important consequence of freeing oneself from the fear of death is a radical opening to spirituality of a universal and non-denominational type.

It is impossible that anything so natural so necessary and so universal as death should ever have been designed by providence as an evil to mankind.

Communism is the death of the soul. It is the organization of total conformity - in short of tyranny - and it is committed to making tyranny universal.

I don't really talk about my personal life. It's a strange and funny and weird thing. Sometimes you have a conversation with someone and the paparazzi snaps a picture of you and people decide you're dating. If I try to answer everything people say I would be up all night.
