The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

That attitude that fighting is probably not fair, but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy, has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes.

I'm not really a Democrat or a Republican, but I don't like rhetoric.

Fighting's not me - it's just something that I do.

We must fight as a race for everything that makes for a better country and a better world. We are dreaming idiots and trusting fools to do anything less.

I don't like yelling and fighting, and I can't quarrel.

So we should all, me included, stop fighting each other and arguing about our differences on certain policies.

You have to listen to adversaries and keep looking for that point beyond which it's against their interests to keep on disagreeing or fighting.
