Like everybody I have many different sides.

I think it's safe to say that each of us has at least one issue we are passionate about and struggle with, issues that robs us of our peace, our joy and our ability to experience love.

I have always had a tendency to keep enlarging problems which I personally think is the way the world works... that seeing anything one dimensionally on the kinds of political, sort of big issues of human progress is going to be a distorted view of things, which is why over my career I have gone seemingly from subject to subject to subject.

When two or more people agree on an issue, I form on the other side.

I'd much rather have 15 people arguing about something than 15 people splitting into two camps, each side convinced it's right and not talking to the other.

I don't accept the idea that there are two sides to any issue. I think that the middle ground is to be found within most of us.

In debate, one randomly was assigned to one side or the other. This had at least one virtue - it made one see that there was more than one side to these complex issues.

There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.

There are two sides to every question: my side and the wrong side.

Leadership has a harder job to do than just choose sides. It must bring sides together.
