Food is our common ground, a universal experience.

Sometimes, we find common ground; more often, we don't.

Stories are the common ground that allow people to connect, despite all our defences and all our differences.

I do see music as complete refuge. It's a universal home, complete common ground between everyone; it comes from a place that has no nation and no boundaries around it.

In a politically diverse nation, only by finding that common ground can we achieve results for the common good.

Democracy requires common ground on which all can stand, but that ground is sinking beneath our feet, and democracy may be going down the sinkhole with it.
