Quote by Jaclyn Moriarty

“There is no right or wrong; there is no one truth, there are lots of truths. And you girls should translate the world into as many different languages as possible. If you see the world in just one language, your world becomes too small.”

"Liar and pretender. I did see you. You were a Communist and had a shirt and a flag. And you ignored me." "Aiyyo kashtam," Velutha said. "Would I do that? You tell me, would Velutha ever do that?

“LA MEDICINA No importa dónde estamos en nuestro viaje único, nosotros tenemos un propósito. Cuando lo descubrimos, sabemos que nuestra verdadera medicina es aquello por lo cual debemos ofrecernos a nosotros mismos y al mundo. ¿Por qué seguir las enseñanzas de otro cuando tú estás aquí para seguir las enseñanzas de tu corazón y de tu Alma? Por qué estudiar la medicina de otro, cuando tu propia medicina sagrada es una sanadora. Cuando vivimos con verdadera compasión y amor por nosotros mismos y por otros, nos abren a la iluminación. Permite a la medicina de tu Alma elevarse mientras despiertas para saber, que eres sabio. acepta tu llamado. Bate tus alas y vuela, camina y muévete en la eternidad. E, igual de importante, ámate a ti mismo. Enséñanos tus métodos, curandero y curandera. Haznos probar tu néctar sanador.”

Plenty and scarcity are relative not only to the number of mouths to be fed but also to the potentially ever-expanding and insatiable range of humans needs and desires. It is as if, paradoxically, human competition increases with abundance, as well as with deficiency, taking more complex forms and expressions, widening social gaps and enhancing stratification.”

“...the evidence suggests that hunter-gatherers in their evolutionary natural environment and evolutionary natural way of life, shaped in humankind's evolutionary history over millions of years, widely engaged in fighting among themselves. In this sense, rather than being a late cultural 'invention', fighting would seem to be, if not 'natural', then certainly not 'unnatural' to humans.”
