We are becoming able to see the pursuit of external power for what it is and the futility of trying to escape the pain of powerlessness by changing the world.

If the truth be told, we are a society that is dripping in racism. This is not in the least surprising.

I was pleased with our defense. I knew they had some big-play capability. They'll run at you and run at you and all the sudden they catch you asleep.

It's been a long time since I had someone like that, for the boys and girls.

The key is to go beyond sensing the changes of physical quantities to closing the loop around the sensor webs, which means making accurate decisions based on the information.
