"When we look at modern man, we have to face the fact that modern man suffers from a kind of poverty of the spirit, which stands in glaring contrast to his scientific and technological abundance. We've learned to fly the air like birds. We've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the earth as brothers and sisters."
"Folks, we are in trouble. The whole system stinks. The whole idea of greed and profit and the exploitation of other people, it stinks."
"Money operates on one value system. It defines value by price."
"You see, no one notices what the true function of the system is. It is masked by propaganda and myth."
"So far, as poverty is concerned, there has never in history been a more effective machine for eliminating poverty than the free enterprise system and the free market."

"And I suddenly realized looking at that, it means hat every fundamental capacity that has enabled our species to survive, we've defined by our economic system as worthless. Our ability to care for each other,
to come to each other's rescue, to stand up for what's right, to oppose what's wrong."
(Actively? or is it subconscious?) "I just think it's part of capitalism to promote racism."
"All of those fundamental capacities that we as a species need in order to survive, we've defined by our economic system as worthless. Now, is there another way? Of course there is. The question is: Can we overcome the force of this system before it kills us? Because that is exactly what it's going to do in the end."
