Doing What Needs to be Done:
"When I think of all the things I have experienced, the fact that all of my contemporaries-- and at that time it was really absolutely universal to my contemporaries-- everybody had as the highest priority, absolutely number one: You have to earn a living! And they all seemed to think that this was absolutely logical and nobody even seemed to question the idea. And I said I think this is preposterous!
"I think we all ought to be looking around saying: What does my experience teach me to see that needs attention… that nobody’s attending to… which my experience tells me that, if attended to, could be turned to everybody’s advantage and which, if not attended to, would leave society at a very great disadvantage?
“Also, what more would you need to know from the kind of experience you have had to be able to be effective, to do something effective about that problem.”
