- "I don’t worry about being in a hurry any more, because my faith in God will always deliver me on time."
- "The morning after my high-school graduation found me up early job hunting. The dream of college I put on the back burner."

- "We think that democracy can change a lot of things, but we’re being fooled, because democracy is not the election. We’ve been taught that democracy is having elections. And it isn’t. Elections are the most horrendous aspect of democracy. It’s the most mundane, trivial, disappointing, dirty aspect."― Gael Garcia Bernal
