I see the most powerful and intelligent men living here. I see this potential, and it's all going to waste. Damn it, an entire generation is pumping gas, working as waiters, or becoming white-collar slaves. Chasing cars and clothes because of advertisements. We work in jobs we hate and buy things we don't need.

We are the middle children of history. We didn't experience a great war or a great depression. Our struggle is a spiritual one, and our greatest crisis is our lives.

Growing up with television, we believed that someday we'd all be millionaires or movie stars or rock stars, but we won't. We're slowly learning that, and that's why we're so angry.

I don't find fault with Christianity, Judaism, or any other religion. It's the religious business that turns them into a corporate affair. There's big money in religious extortion.

Look, I think the basic teachings of Jesus are great, by the way. And Karl Marx's real intention was the same, you know? What's wrong with that?

Democracy... the idea of people governing themselves is all great, but they all have one unforgivable flaw.

They all rely on the false assumption that people are inherently good!
