"Depression opens the door to beauty of some kind."

"We approach people the same way we approach our cars. We take the poor kid to a doctor and ask, What's wrong with him, how much will it cost, and when can I pick him up?"

"The culture is going into a psychological depression. We are concerned about our place in the world, about being competitive: Will my children have as much as I have? Will I ever own my own home? How can I pay for a new car? Are immigrants taking away my white world?"

"We can't change anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently."

"Loss means losing what was We want to change but we don't want to lose. Without time for loss, we don't have time for soul."
