When we empower our communities, we are all better off.

I want to be clear: not all patient communities are great, any more than online communities of any sort. But when a good one gets going, boy is it sweet.

I am not interested in releasing best of stuff and I have not given my permission. You release best of packages when you're a has-been and have nothing new to offer.

Reapportionment is not friendly to a lot of communities and it hasn't been too friendly to mine.

Well it seems to me, that all real communities grow out of a shared confrontation with survival. Communities are not produced by sentiment or mere goodwill. They grow out of a shared struggle. Our situation in the desert is an incubator for community.

At the end of the day, the more quality individuals you develop in the community, the better off the community should be.

Without a sense of caring, there can be no sense of community.

There used to be this real sense of community integrity in rock. It has really eroded. Everyone seems to be on their own now.

There was no end to the ways in which nice things are nicer than nasty ones.

Communities don't think, don't believe, don't want, don't have needs, don't have interests and don't make decisions. Only individuals have minds that generate desires and needs - and only individuals can make choices and decisions.
