• ... many Hindus are willing to consider Jesus as a legitimate manifestation of the divine... many Buddhists see Jesus as one of humanity's most enlightened people....

This reappraisal of Jesus' message may be the only project capable of saving a number of religions.

• Putting aside all the things that are said about Hillary [Clinton], my main difference with her is on the vision of what kind of society will make people's lives better.

The denial of a vulnerability is the ultimate barrier to compassion.
