• El socialismo no consiste en grandes conceptos y pesadas teorías. El socialismo consiste en dar un techo decente a los que no tienen hogar. Es agua para los que no tienen agua potable. Se trata de asistencia sanitaria, de una vida digna para los ancianos. Se trata de superar la enorme brecha entre las zonas urbanas y rurales. Se trata de una educación decente para todo nuestro pueblo. El socialismo consiste en hacer retroceder la tiranía del mercado. Mientras la economía esté dominada por unos pocos privilegiados no elegidos, habrá argumentos a favor del socialismo.

• La prisión es, literalmente, un gueto en el sentido más clásico de la palabra, un lugar donde el gobierno de EE.UU. ahora pone no sólo a los peligrosos, sino también a los inconvenientes: enfermos mentales, adictos, pobres, sin educación y sin formación. Mientras tanto, el gueto del mundo exterior también es una prisión, y mucho más difícil de escapar que este complejo correccional. De hecho, existe básicamente una puerta giratoria entre nuestros guetos urbanos y rurales y el gueto formal de nuestro sistema penitenciario.

• To the extent that our workers compete with low-paid Mexicans, it is as much through undocumented immigration as trade. This pattern threatens low-paid, low-skill U.S. workers. The combination of domestic reforms and NAFTA-related growth in Mexico will keep more Mexicans at home. It is likely that a reduction in immigration will increase the real wages of low-skilled urban and rural workers in the United States.

• La mayoría de mis libros están ambientados en el Medio Oeste americano, donde siempre he vivido. Los habitantes del Medio Oeste son gente encantadora y con los pies en la tierra. El lujo de elegir esta región como escenario es la infinidad de imágenes de cambios estacionales que la acompañan; además de, la gran variedad de escenarios, urbanos y rurales, entre los que elegir.

• When school district officials literally laughed at the notion that the Me Generation — this was the label for my generation — would jump at the chance to teach in urban and rural communities, their concerns, too, went unheard. My very greatest asset was that I simply did not understand what was impossible.
