"Families are incubators for citizen activists...." - Quote by Ralph Nader

“If you know what's going on and know how society can be improved and happiness advanced, you tend to focus on how to get things done that will help health, safety, opportunity, justice, accountability of powerful institutions to the people they are supposed to serve.”

“Young wives are the leading asset of corporate power. They want the suburbs, a house, a settled life, and respectability. They want society to see that they have exchanged themselves for something of value.”

“To top it off, for those of you who are interested in the economics, it costs more to pursue a capital case toward execution than it does to have full life imprisonment without parole.”

“You always want your people to be proud of what you have accomplished.”

“What makes me happy is just curling up in with my mom in her bed and watching a marathon of 'CSI' and 'Grey's Anatomy' episodes with pints of ice cream.”

“When buying a new house ... Buy the house far enough away from school so your kids can't come home for lunch.”

“My call is the call of battle- I nourish active rebellion;/ He going with me must go well armed.”

“You should be angry. You must not be bitter. Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. It doesn't do anything to the object of its displeasure. So use that anger. You write it. You paint it. You dance it. You march it. You vote it. You do everything about it. You talk it. Never stop talking it.”

“We are rebels for a cause, poets with a dream , and we won't let this world die without a fight.”
