Quote

We live in a bewildering world.

We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world.

I'm hoping to make a new thing for the world that remains in the mind like a new species of living thing.

For better or worse, we live in possible worlds as much as actual ones. We are cursed by that characteristically human guilt and regret about what might have been in the past. But that may be the cost for our ability to hope and plan for what might be in the future.

The human imagination has already come to conceive the possibility of recreating human society.

We are all dreamers creating the next world, the next beautiful world for ourselves and for our children.

We know it is impossible to go on finding, moving and wasting oil, leveling forests, paving land, dumping poisons, and multiplying our numbers. A new way of life, a new set of thoughts must be found.

My hope is that we continue to nurture the places that we love, but that we also look outside our immediate worlds.

We hope the world will act in the spirit of enlightened self-interest.

If we hope for what we are not likely to possess, we act and think in vain, and make life a greater dream and shadow than it really is.
