Our society spends a lot of money on prison bars. For the sake of our kids, let's invest in monkey bars.
Acting is easy and fun. You earn a lot of money, and you bang out with girls. The profession is given tremendous significance within our society, but it's not really worthy of it.
If, in the name of liberty, we allow individuals to act in a way that damages the wellbeing of the whole, it will inevitably mean the breakdown of mutuality, thereby changing the very nature of our society.
Divorced from the cosmos, from nature, from society and from each other, we have become fractured and fragmented.

To measure the success of our societies, we should examine how well those with different abilities, including persons with autism, are integrated as full and valued members.

The Iraqi people are living a long-running tragedy because of the legacy of the old regime, the Americans and their actions that are unsuitable for Iraqi society, and the weakness of national resolve.
The first duty of society is to give each of its members the possibility of fulfilling his destiny. When it becomes incapable of performing this duty it must be transformed.
