“Routine, measurable, and collective actions both small and large will make an impact.”

We’re all part of the story; we can all contribute and participate.

Everything I do, it’s all about making every moment a quality, meaningful moment.

I think in the old music, everything was so competitive.

I’m passionate about it because I think it’s the most direct way to connect to the things that are ineffable.

We have to act united as a people, and that means that every individual has to participate and do their part.

I see stuff sometimes and have a good laugh.

You get some gloves and a scarf from a lost-and-found box, wash them, wear them for a while until you lose them. Then somebody else does the same thing.

I think winter wear is communal.

I’m a self-taught musician, so I never really had the restrictions of any one instrument.

You can’t expect people to do the right thing or else they will go to hell. We are already in hell!.

We can not be naive and think we can go it alone.

But the root of my happiness comes from my neighborhood, NYC.

It was all about – very selfish in a lot of ways.

I think it’s important that we run that tension between the way things are.

Ethical systems and practices need to look good.

When I feel myself getting overwhelmed, I take a deep breath and eat a piece of chocolate.

Viewed as a resource that sustains our humanity, the earth is a collection of places.

They are essentially commitments and attitudes that foster collaboration and positive collective action.

How we navigate between false agreement and polarization is the kind of mastery that collective wisdom represents.

Collective wisdom is about our capacity to recognize interdependence and to make decisions demonstrating that we have a stake in each other, that we can indeed care for each other and the physical planet we share.

In my own life, I think legends of supernatural, mythic things are really just a manifestation of the collective unconscious. So I don’t really get freaked out.

We don’t work like the best basketball player and the best musician and so on. Science is a collective effort.

I cannot speak for you. Two thoughts: there is no liberation that only knows how to say ‘I’; there is no collective movement that speaks for each of us all the way through.

I define “politics” as the on-going collective struggle for liberation and for the power to create – not only works of art, but also just and nonviolent social institutions.
