Our society is not a community, but merely a collection of isolated family units.

An emancipated society, on the other hand, would not be a unitary state, but the realization of universality in the reconciliation of differences.

People quite often think of the question 'Are we alone in the universe?' in terms of other civilizations out there: life forms that have reached at least our level of technological development.

Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society.

The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tougher the better. There's where you get down to bedrock and meet human people.

I believe that our society is merely a reflection of what is going on inside each and every one of us.

We live in a very complex world.

We live in a world that has narrowed into a neighborhood before it has broadened into a brotherhood.

We have gone through everything as a nation - partition, dictatorship, and even anarchy.

We live in a time where there's an alienation factor. There's a certain disconnection. We don't have any real sense of community anymore.
