“No matter how many toys we amass we leave them behind when we die, just as we leave a broken environment, an economy that only benefits the richest, and a legacy of empowering greed over goodness. It is now time to commit to following a new path.”

“I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I don't think even my country means all that much.
