"We could not bring democracy and freedom to Vietnam at a cost acceptable to ourselves. The idea that that was what we were trying to do, is again, a tautology, it's true by definition because we were doing, and the state is noble by definition. That's called "extreme liberalism"."
"Because the 1979 strike against U.S. Steel in Youngstown, Ohio was an occupation - and actually, that's a model that really should be pursued now.They went on from striking to trying to have the workforce and the communities take over the abandoned factories that U.S. Steel was dismantling."
"We should certainly not be perpetuating further harm to others or to the environment. Suppose that workers at ExxonMobil are trying to unionize. We have two choices: to help them improve their lives, or to keep away so that their lives will be worse. Neither choice has any effect on use of fossil fuels.

"I box a lot, I spin and I surf. I try to mix it up. I obviously have to be in shape 24 hours and the gym can be super monotonous, so I just get outside and try to make it fun so my body doesn't get bored."
"Revolutionary realism tries to draw the maximum advantage from every situation - that is what makes it revolutionary - but at the same time it does not permit us to set ourselves fantastic aims - that is what makes it realistic."
"I'm trying to stay as healthy as possible but there's no pressure to be really skinny. No. That's just a bit wrong."
"I try not to diet because it never really works for me, if I tell myself I can't eat something then I tend to want to eat everything in sight."
"I always considered myself a minor writer. My province is small, and I try to explore it very, very thoroughly."
"I always felt I was scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get a song together."
"I try to make those references. I try to make sure that they're not too obscure. But outside of that, I dare not claim anything in the spiritual realm for my own."
"Why do I always feel like you're trying to staple my umbilical cord to the corner of your desk?"
"If you will not try, you will go to your grave with your song still inside you."
"I could lecture on dry oak leaves; I could, but who would hear me? If I were to try it on any large audience, I fear it would be no gain to them, and a positive loss to me. I should have behaved rudely toward my rustling friends."

"Don't try to solve the entire problem on day one."
"Executives should blog if they have a vision they are trying to communicate, or if they are very visible in the media."
"I just try to have a good time, enjoy my family, enjoy my life. I was having a blast when I was poor, and I'm having maybe a little bit more now that I've got something in the bank."
