I don't even like old cars. I'd rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God's sake. ↗

In 'The General Strike,' we celebrate those who bring a new vision for the world to the table. People who stand for workers rights, human rights, a just representative political system, and a new mode of doing business where sustainability is the norm not the exception. ↗

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty. ↗

Form your life humanly, and you have done enough: but you will never reach the height of art and the depth of science without something divine. ↗
