“The great Norwegian playwright, Henrik Ibsen, wrote, "One of these days, the younger generation will come knocking at my door." The future is knocking at our door right now. Make no mistake, the next generation will ask us one of two questions. Either they will ask: "What were you thinking; why didn't you act?" Or they will ask instead: "How did you find the moral courage to rise and successfully resolve a crisis that so many said was impossible to solve?” ThinkingSaidTwoNextAsksMistakeMoralImpossibleGenerationsDoorsRight NowCrisisSolveThese DaysResolveNext GenerationPlaywrightKnockingYounger GenerationMoral CourageNorwegiansIbsen Author:Al Gore
“Nor do piecemeal steps however well intended, even partially resolve problems that have reached a universal, global and catastrophic character. If anything, partial 'solutions' serve merely as cosmetics to conceal the deep seated nature of the ecological crisis. They thereby deflect public attention and theoretical insight from an adequate understanding of the depth and scope of the necessary changes.” IfsWellsCharacterProblemUnderstandingAttentionStepsSolutionsUniversalCrisisDepthInsightResolveAdequateScopeTheoreticalEcologicalCosmeticsDeep SeaEcological CrisisNecessary Change Author:Murray Bookchin
“The question becomes what kind of coalition can we build that will make a transition and empower the people of Iraq? The American soldiers' presence there is an act of provocation.

“A crisis allows us the opportunity to dig deep into the reservoirs of our very being, to rise to levels of confidence, strength, and resolve that otherwise we didn't think we possessed.

“Have interesting failures.... If you need to have a personal crisis have it now. Don't wait until midlife, when it will take longer to resolve.... Don't pity yourselves. Lighten up.

“As we move forward, you cannot resolve the potential food crisis or shortages without science being part of the solution.

“What the U.S. does is it continues to print money when the economic situation gets difficult. This is what happened in the last depression during the summer of 2008 when they tried to resolve the economic crisis by printing valueless money.

“If youth is the season of hope, it is often so only in the sense that our elders are hopeful about us; for no age is so apt as youth to think its emotions, partings, and resolves are the last of their kind. Each crisis seems final, simply because it is new. We are told that the oldest inhabitants in Peru do not cease to be agitated by the earthquakes, but they probably see beyond each shock, and reflect that there are plenty more to come.” IfsThinkingKindSeemsAgeLastsEmotionYouthSeasonsCrisisFinalsCeasePlentyShockHopefulResolveEldersPartingEarthquakesPeru Book:Delphi Complete Works of George Eliot (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of George Eliot (Illustrated)
