Quote

I am a citizen of the world.

I think I've been a great citizen.

To be a good citizen, it's important to be able to put yourself in other people's shoes and see the big picture. If everything you see is rooted in your own identity, that becomes difficult or impossible.

I think I've had a very privileged life.

I feel privileged, to be honest.

To live under the American Constitution is the greatest political privilege that was ever accorded to the human race.

I am a universalist, passionately devoted to the cause of equality within the human family.

After all, you're not exactly a nation like all the other nations. You are unique, if only because you are such an ancient people, and because of the way you are spread all over the world and your obvious success in many fields.

My passion is to create a better society for our future citizens.
