• La enfermedad del sida está causada por un virus, pero la epidemia de sida no lo está. La epidemia de sida está alimentada por el estigma, el odio, la desinformación, la ignorancia y la indiferencia. La ciencia ha hecho milagros en los últimos 20 años y ahora puede acabar con esta enfermedad, pero no puede acabar con la epidemia. Necesitamos algo más que medicamentos. Podemos hacer algo al respecto. Tenemos que hablar claro sobre los cambios que necesitamos hacer en nuestra sociedad.

  Elton John

• Nuestra sociedad está llena de fugitivos, abandonos y renunciantes. La epidemia del alejamiento ha golpeado nuestra tierra con efectos tan devastadores como la peste bubónica, y ha destruido millones de vidas y relaciones efectivas. Estamos tan centrados en nosotros mismos que hemos dejado de dar la vida por los demás. Hemos visto a otros desfallecer o alejarse y les hemos seguido en su debilidad. Hemos desmayado cuando podríamos haber perseverado cambiando nuestra fuerza por la Suya. Con Su fuerza, no sólo podríamos haber seguido caminando, ¡podríamos haber corrido!

• If we look around, then, at the crucial problem areas of our society - the areas of crisis and failure - we find in each and every case a “red thread” marking and uniting them all: the thread of government. In every one of these cases, government either has totally run or heavily influenced the activity.

• sex has never been private and it never will be. We perform the act in private but we must be public about the connection. Sex is how we pass down worldly goods. It's how we create the primary unit of our society, the couple. ... This rule applies to gay people as well as straight people. ... The community absolutely must know who is straight, who is gay, who is married, and who is single. Without that information we make painful mistakes and lose time.

• The television screen is the lens through which most children learn about violence. Through the magnifying power of this lens, their everyday life becomes suffused by images of shootings, family violence, gang warfare, kidnappings, and everything else that contributes to violence in our society. It shapes their experiences long before they have had the opportunity to consent to such shaping or developed the ability to cope adequately with this knowledge.
