It's a life's journey of finding ourselves finding our power and living for yourself not for everyone else.

King's response to our crisis can be put in one word: revolution. A revolution in our priorities a reevaluation of our values a reinvigoration of our public life and a fundamental transformation of our way of thinking and living that promotes a transfer of power from oligarchs and plutocrats to everyday people and ordinary citizens.

I think sometimes in life we want to ignore the problems of society and just think about the good. I believe in positive thinking and affirmative living I also think it's really important to remember all of our disenfranchised members of society.

Living in Washington you can't take politics too seriously. I draw the line at honesty. I have no time for political hacks who say things they don't believe because they get paid to.

I'm not really involved with politics... I'm living in my cocoon with my classical music around.

We discussed politics but we also talked about the importance of hard work personal responsibility living within your means keeping your word. Those lessons stay with you throughout your life.

Theater and poetry were what helped people stay alive and want to go on living.

Well I guess the plan was to write poetry and publish books and make a living from writing poetry. That was a pretty ambitious plan I guess.

Once every five hundred years or so a summary statement about poetry comes along that we can't imagine ourselves living without.

But one does not make living writing poetry unless you're a professor and one frankly doesn't get a lot of girls as a poet.
