“Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a heavenly creature or into a hellish creature...” LittlesDifferentWholeMotivationalChoicesCreaturesHeavenly Author:C.

“If in this wide world, teeming with abundant supplies for human want, to thousands of wretched creatures no choice is open, save between starvation and sin, may we not justly say that there is something utterly wrong in the system that permits such things to be?” IfsWorldWantHumansMayChoicesSinCreaturesWidePermitWretchedStarvationSupplies Author:Tennessee Celeste Claflin
“Humans, like all other creatures, must make a difference; otherwise, they cannot live. But unlike other creatures, humans must make a choice as to the kind and scale of difference they make. If they choose to make too small a difference, they diminish their humanity. If they choose to make too great a difference, they diminish nature, and narrow their subsequent choices; ultimately, they diminish or destroy themselves. Nature, then, is not only our source but also our limit and measure.” IfsHumansKindHumanityChoicesDifferencesSourceCreaturesLimitsEnvironmentalScalesMaking A DifferenceSustainabilityDiminish Author:Wendell Berry
“Choice is the key, because human beings are the only creatures who can choose to evolve, who can shape their destiny. Furthermore, we have been given the gift of "self-awareness," which allows us to step back into our true selves to observe and use our brains to create the world we wish to live in.” WorldHumansHas BeensSelfUseChoicesGivenWishHuman BeingsBrainStepsDestinyAwarenessKeysShapesCreaturesSelf AwarenessEvolveTrue Self Author:Deepak Chopra
“You have to understand that it's a very cooperative world, not only with the environment, with but our fellow human beings. If you do not cooperate, if you do not work together to keep the entire organism going, the whole thing dies, and everybody dies with it. That's a law of nature, and it's existed forever. We're one of the very few creatures that has a choice, and can intellectualize the process.” IfsWorldHumansWholeTogetherLawDiesChoicesProcessHuman BeingsForeverEnvironmentCreaturesFellowsWorking TogetherOrganismsLaws Of NatureCooperatives Author:George Lucas
