Over the years your bodies become walking autobiographies, telling friends and strangers alike of the minor and major stresses of your lives.
From Marilyn Ferguson
Real progress in understanding nature is rarely incremental. All important advances are sudden intuitions, new principles, new ways of seeing.
It is a dark, unspoken truth that the powerful - the 'ruling class' - make up the rules as they go along.
Public policy is designed by spin doctors who aim to keep our heads below the water. The public good is not a consideration, and their self-serving agendas prevail over common sense.
The ferment and viability in any society is directly proportionate to the number of people actively living their ideas. This is not positive thinking - it is positive action: the spirit of experiment.
Victory doesn't lie in taming our nature but in progressively discovering and revealing more of it.
People who have discovered a purpose feel better, like themselves more, age more subtly, and live longer.
Radical common sense is the wisdom gleaned from the past that recognizes the perishable opportunities of the moment. It is the willingness to admit error and the refusal to be deterred by failure.
A self-defined challenge is an irresistible teacher.
We should not become so ashamed of the disappointments and travesties of democracy that we become ashamed of the idea itself. It is the outer reflection of our self-acceptance.
