"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of million miles out and say: "Look at that, you son of a bitch.""
"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first."
