“Man is distinguished from the brute animals in proportion as thought prevails over sense: but in the healthy processes of the mind, a balance is constantly maintained between the impressions from outward objects and the inward operations of the intellect:--for if there be an overbalance in the contemplative faculty, man thereby becomes the creature of mere meditation, and loses his natural power of action.” IfsThinkingMenMindActionProcessLosesNaturalAnimalMeditationObjectsBalanceHealthyCreaturesMereIntellectImpressionOperationsProportionFacultyInwardDistinguishedBrutesContemplative Book:Lectures Upon Shakspeare Source: Lectures Upon Shakspeare

“The creative process ignites our imagination, and I believe that that same imagination is what will propel us forward with issues of social change. I do think we have to acknowledge that we are a very capitalistic and consumptive nation, and that talk about conservation or issues of sustainability is never going to be popular with the dominant culture because it means checks and balances on an economy that is reserved for the dollar, rather than an economy that honors and respects spiritual resources and the right of all life to participate on the planet, not just our species.” ThinkingBelieveMeanSpiritualCultureI BelieveNationsSocialProcessImaginationEconomyCreativeIssuesEnvironmentPlanetsBalanceHonorResourcesDollarsSpeciesChecksAcknowledgeSustainabilityCreative ProcessDominantConservationSocial ChangeReservedIgniteDominant CultureHonor And Respect Author:Terry Tempest Williams

“It would be rash to conclude that, on balance, the environment of the globe as a whole is either deteriorating or improving, or that the survival of the societies we know depends upon filling a simple set of prescriptions.
