• Divorce is one of the loneliest of modern rituals. Before, during, and after the actual culmination of the legal process it is an ordeal that rips people away from their roots, their important relationships, and a part of themselves. There is really nothing like it - except perhaps war.

• America must deal once and for all with an utterly irrational health care financing system that allows private interests to make billions in profits from the pain and suffering of their fellow citizens. America is the only country in the industrialized world that does not provide tax-supported universal health care coverage in some form.

• Hoy en día, la segregación por edades ha sobrepasado todos los límites de la cordura. No sólo se aísla a los de quince años de los de setenta, sino que los grupos sociales dividen a los de secundaria de los de bachillerato, y a los de veinte de los de veinticinco. Hay grupos de mediana edad, grupos de mediana edad tardía y grupos de ancianos, como si personas con cinco años de diferencia no pudieran tener nada en común.

• In our 'don't just sit there, do something' culture, when we get sick we are supposed to become characters in a heroic medical narrative that conceals the remorselessness of pathology, the intractable fact of human vulnerability, and the inevitable inadequacies of medicine. To many of the participants in the medical drama, aggressive treatment - even when it fails - represents a quasi-religious quest for immortality and meaning.

• La asociación entre fracaso, soledad y soledad es tan fuerte en nuestra cultura que a la gente a menudo le cuesta creer que haya a quien le guste estar solo.
