“Ohne Konzentration kann nichts in dieser Welt vollständig verwirklicht werden, sei es nun in unseren Geschäften, unserem Beruf oder in unserer spirituellen Arbeit. Wer in den eigenen Angelegenheiten oder im Beruf keinen Erfolg hat, kann sich nicht richtig konzentrieren. Viele, die Erfolg im Leben haben, verdanken dies der Tatsache, dass sie über eine gute Konzentration verfügen. Und vielleicht wissen sie das nicht einmal. Im Westen gab es viele große Erfinder, die wunderbare Dinge geschaffen haben, doch sie selbst wussten nicht, dass sie dies ihrer Konzentrationsfähigkeit zu verdanken hatten. Manche werden mit ihr als natürlicher Gabe geboren, und deshalb bringen sie alles, was auch immer sie unternehmen, zum Erfolg. Künstler können mithilfe der Konzentration wunderschöne Werke schaffen. Wissenschaftlerinnen können dadurch großartige wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse erzielen. Poeten gehen damit mühelos der Dichtkunst nach. Für Mystikerinnen wird die mystische Inspiration fließen. Ohne Konzentration jedoch sind wir nicht fähig, unsere Gaben zu nutzen, egal wie begabt wir sind. Wir können dann kaum als begabt angesehen werden. Nur durch die Kraft der Konzentration können wir uns vollständig ausdrücken. (S. 158)”

“Ohne zu zögern schmiegte sie sich an seine Brust und schlang die Arme um ihn. Von jetzt auf gleich blieb die Zeit stehen. Schneeflocken hingen in den gelben Lichtkegeln der Straßenlaternen. Lachende Gesichter von Passanten schwebten um sie herum. Zahlreiche bunte Lichter glimmten in den Straßen und zwischen den Häusern. Er hatte sich so oft vorgestellt, wie es sein würde. Wo sie sich begegnen würden. Wer zuerst da wäre. Was sie sagen und wie sie einander ansehen würden. Doch eines hatte er nie bedacht – wie es sich anfühlen würde.”

“Oho, now I know what you are. You are an advocate of Useful Knowledge.... Well, allow me to introduce myself to you as an advocate of Ornamental Knowledge. You like the mind to be a neat machine, equipped to work efficiently, if narrowly, and with no extra bits or useless parts. I like the mind to be a dustbin of scraps of brilliant fabric, odd gems, worthless but fascinating curiosities, tinsel, quaint bits of carving, and a reasonable amount of healthy dirt. Shake the machine and it goes out of order; shake the dustbin and it adjusts itself beautifully to its new position.”

“Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not [...]. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here.”

“Oil companies have gas stations. There's this whole huge structure that is about finding a new liquid for the tank. And the idea that maybe there shouldn't be a liquid, that maybe the best is an electrical grid, a sustainably powered electrical grid that we all plug into, that doesn't sit well with oil companies.”

“Oil is a tangible commodity, so there is a global market. The fact that we may need less may affect the global price because we're big consumers: we probably take about a quarter of global demand. But if suddenly, let's just use a crazy example, fighting in the Middle East led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and no oil could get out through the Strait of Hormuz, well that would affect China, India, Europe, it will affect the whole global economy. It will affect us, too, then.”

“Oil is a very valuable resource for life - electric heaters. We must have to transition ourselves to a post-oil era. And that's what we must discuss: searching and developing new sources of energy. And that requires scientific research. That requires investment. And the developed countries must be the ones to assume this responsibility first.”

“Oil is dead, on its way to extinction. As a group of citizens we must speak up and act towards ending fracking. Let your government know you will not tolerate a technology that not only poisons your family but our creature family at large; let them know you want sustainable power and all the jobs that will come with that new growth.”

“Oil may run out, liquidity may dry up, but as long as ink flows freely, the next chapter of Life will continue to be written.”

“Oil now, as a result of the Saudi production, is priced so low that there are not going to be new fracking investments made. A lot of companies that have gone into fracking are heavily debt-leveraged, and are beginning to default on their loans. The next wave of defaults that banks are talking about is probably going to be in the fracking industry. When the costs of production are so much more than they can end up getting for the oil, they just stop producing and stop paying their loans.”

“Oil Painting, Painted By an Unknown Artist, Describing Sadness, Regret, and Defeat. ''..She felt like a character in a no-name oil painting, drawn by an unknown artist, describing sadness, regret and defeat. She pictured that painting in her mind, and this time lay down on her bed as if taking her place in that painting. It was not strange for her that a character that had been out of place for a long time was now re-entering there. On the contrary, by inhaling the scent of oil painting, Melisa plunged into resignation, as if she had found her place and even what she deserved...' A Quote from Angel Diarys -Babylonian Spell”

“Oil platforms are a technology for floating permanently on the high seas, and cruise ships are a technology for self-governance on the high seas, and if you combine these two technologies, imagine cruise ships that never dock but float permanently. Imagine if they were 10 times as big. Imagine if they were modular and could move about and you could choose the neighbours you wanted to live with.”

“Oil policy, policy toward the United States, policy toward Iran, Bahrain, Yemen, very unlikely, I think, to see significant change. These policies were the policies that had a wide family consensus. The question I think would be if the king becomes sick, whether you have weak Saudi leadership in the Arab world and the Middle East rather than strong Saudi leadership, but I think the fundamental policies will continue, the ones we’re familiar with under King Abdullah.”

“Oil production, energy production are growing, though the latter has gone down by about 1 percent here, I believe... By the way, we occupy the first place in the world in gas export, accounting for 20 percent of the world market. We are also first in the sphere of liquid hydrocarbons export.”

“Oil remains fundamentally a government business. While many regions of the world offer great oil opportunities, the Middle East with two-thirds of the world's oil and the lowest cost, is still where the prize ultimately lies, even though companies are anxious for greater access there, progress continues to be slow.”
