“The reason that university politics is so vicious is because stakes are so small”
“If the universe is meaningless, so is the statement that it is so. If this world is a vicious trap, so is its accuser, and the pot is calling the kettle black.”
“Courage is indispensible because in politics not life but the world is at stake.”
“Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
“How small we are in the universe but, even so, how one small voice can make a difference.”
“But then I remembered: the universe was closed, and so very small. There was really nowhere else to go.”
