“No human being can be more human than another human being. I liberate you from my ignorance.”

“In all my work what I try to say is that as human beings we are more alike than we are unalike.”

“I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.”

“The human heart...tells us that we are more alike than we are unalike.”

“Without willing it, I had gone from being ignorant of being ignorant to being aware of being aware. And the worst part of my awareness was that I didn't know what I was aware of. I knew I knew very little, but I was certain that the things I had yet to learn wouldn't be taught to me at George Washington High School. ”

“I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God's will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at commensurate speed.”

“We are all human; therefore, nothing human can be alien to us.”
