“We have the ability to choose, we are God's higher form of creation, we surpass all other forms of life and we don't use the mental faculties we've been given. We don't even understand what we are capable of doing. School doesn't teach us anything about ourselves. So the more we learn about ourselves, the more we take control over our life.” UseSchoolFormGivenAbilityTeachOur LivesCreationHigherCapableFacultyTake ControlAbility To Choose Author:Bob Proctor

“A fool cannot be protected from his folly.

“You cannot teach somebody to write a masterpiece, but you can certainly teach them how to improve their writing skills. And you can teach them that they can make their own voices more effective by being able to communicate more clearly and forcefully. It makes people feel more capable when they can write - for instance to make a request - of a politician - and when they are able to receive a reply.” PeopleWritingTeachPoliticianCapableCommunicateMasterpiece Author:Margaret Atwood

“It is obvious that art cannot teach anyone anything, since in four thousand years humanity has learnt nothing at all. We should long ago have become angels had we been capable of paying attention to the experience of art, and allowing ourselves to be changed in accordance with the ideals it expresses. Art only has the capacity, through shock and catharsis, to make the human soul receptive to good. It’s ridiculous to imagine that people can be taught to be good…Art can only give food – a jolt – the occasion – for psychical experience.” PeopleGivingShouldYearsHumansLongArtSoulHumanityAttentionTeachFourImagineChangedTaughtThousandCapableAngelCapacityIdealsObviousBe GoodRidiculousOccasionsPay AttentionShockAllowingImagine ThatLong AgoThousand YearsHuman SoulReceptiveGood ArtCatharsis Author:Andrei Tarkovsky
