- [observation about "hippie" culture in the 1970s] We have lost the ability to hear what our neighbors have to say. We have polite conversations, but at the end of the day we don't hear them. There was a moment in time when we were full of hope and we thought that w e were going to change the world.
- My generation understood that once a hippie always a hippie. Of course I could not be a hippie today, sitting comfortably here in Geneva. But my values are the same: simplify your life, eat healthy, respect women. My generation understood the mind and our desire to journey - but then it came time to support ourselves.
