“It is true that legality is not morality, and sticking to the law is necessary for good citizenship, but it is not sufficient.”

“Society needs both justice and compassion, a head and a heart, if it is to be civilised.”

“The greatest moral failing is to condemn something as a moral failing: no vice is worse than being judgmental.”

“Heathens are unredeemed outcasts from heaven who roam the planet without hope of surviving the deaths of their bodies. They may have values, but they are not secured by any divine source. Yet we embrace this because we think it represents the truth.”

“If there is an art of living, it is not something that can be taught timelessly. We have lessons to learn from Aristotle et al, for sure, but not if we simply uproot them from their epoch and stamp them into 21st-century soil.”

“Perhaps the biggest myth about cynicism is that it deepens with age. I think what really happens is that experience painfully rips away layers of scales from our eyes, and so we do indeed become more cynical about many of the things we naively accepted when younger.”

“I support comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to full and equal citizenship for undocumented immigrants who are playing by the rules, staying out of trouble and contributing to our economy.”

“To provide a welcoming path to citizenship for immigrants and to restore our civil liberties, our foreign policy platform is very important.”

“Because there was a pathway to citizenship that allowed me to secure legal status, I had the unbridled chance to work hard and build a life and a family here.”

“If we value children and family, there's a great need for change, and we should try immigration reform - create a path for citizenship for people already here, update the visa system.”

“We are committed to ensuring that immigration is not further criminalized and that all immigrants are treated with dignity and provided with a path to citizenship.”

“It's not a lighthearted decision to change your language, your country, your citizenship, and come to a world where you don't know anybody, to leave a place where you've had opportunities to build friendships from childhood. That's quite a big decision to make.”
