What, then, unites nations? Interest and sentiment.
A good impression is sort of a juxtaposition of disparate elements.
A long marriage is very unifying, even if it's not ideal, and those old structures must be respected.
I believe that nationalism is a very strong force, but there are other forces operating; there are tendencies pushing towards a larger picture, especially in Europe, I think; but I still think nationalism is real.
I feel like people have more in common than the news reports. People getting along doesn't sell very well in the news. I find that to be deeply depressing.
People are pretty much alike. It's only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.
The fact that schools can actually be a major factor in cementing the world is a factor that's worth considering, the fact that we all have a shared human identity in addition to many other identities.
You know, men and women are a lot alike in certain situations. Like when they're both on fire - they're exactly alike.
Any time a political movement shrinks dramatically, very quickly, it is almost impossible to unify.
The ways in which we are similar are far more numerous than the ways in which we are different.
I want people to see how universal experiences of intimacy are, regardless of demographic or label or whatever.
