I am concerned about how to reverse the process by which a fundamentalist right and a corporate elite were able to seize power in the United States.

In all our associations in all our agreements let us never lose sight of this fundamental maxim - that all power was originally lodged in and consequently is derived from the people.

King's response to our crisis can be put in one word: revolution. A revolution in our priorities a reevaluation of our values a reinvigoration of our public life and a fundamental transformation of our way of thinking and living that promotes a transfer of power from oligarchs and plutocrats to everyday people and ordinary citizens.

The fundamental concept in social science is Power in the same sense in which Energy is the fundamental concept in physics.

When every physical and mental resources is focused one's power to solve a problem multiplies tremendously.

Your best creative assets do not occur unless you do a mental shift. You have to be in a positive frame of mind because inspiration is fleeting. I walk to work for inspiration and to clear my mind.

The President in talking about freedom and democracy is sparking a wave of very positive democratic sentiment that might help us override both Islamic fundamentalism that has formed in that region and also some of the hatred for our policies of invading Iraq.

I had to develop the mentality and stay positive about making my comeback.

I think I make films to help bolster and feed the part of me that wants to remain in a positive relationship with the world and to engage in it. So hopefully in non-sentimental ways I'm trying to make something that helps make me happy.

Macroeconomic policy can never be devoid of politics: it involves fundamental trade-offs and affects different groups differently.

Once you start saying 'Let's talk political my own politics my own aspirations ' it can become not just distracting in that it takes time but it can become confusing and frustrating and is this now a political agenda or a governmental agenda.

There's not a good poet I know who has not at the beck and call of his memory a vast quantity of poetry that composes his mental library.

Serious poetry deals with the fundamental conflicts that cannot be logically resolved: we can state the conflicts rationally but reason does not relieve us of them.

As things are and as fundamentally they must always be poetry is not a career but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.

Environmentalists hate sprawl - except when it comes to the size of their expansive pet legislation on Capitol Hill.

A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

I believe however that peace is attainable regardless of the Arabs mentality society or government.

I was surrounded by nature and trying to come to terms with this blissful nature versus the inhumane mentality of war. People were being deluded by someone using the word peace.

Isaac and I are going to Israel to ride for peace enviromental justice and a safer world for us all.

I value peace when it is not bought at the price of fundamental decencies.

The threat today is not that of the 1930s. It's not big powers going to war with each other. The ravages which fundamentalist political ideology inflicted on the 20th century are memories. The Cold war is over. Europe is at peace if not always diplomatically.

In my opinion if we have not achieved peace it is because people forget its most fundamental aspect. Before we talk about peace among nations we must settle our peace with God.

Egypt has been a partner of the United States over the last 30 years has been instrumental in keeping the peace in the Middle East between Egypt and Israel which is a critical accomplishment that has meant so much to so many people.

Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.
