“Hearing, seeing and understanding each other, humanity from one end of the earth to the other now lives simultaneously, omnipresent like a god thanks to its own creative ability. And, thanks to its victory over space and time, it would now be splendidly united for all time, if it were not confused again and again by that fatal delusion which causes humankind to keep on destroying this grandiose unity and to destroy itself with the same resources which gave it power over the elements.” IfsEndsEarthHumanityCausesUnderstandingAbilitySpaceUnitedCreativeSeeingVictoryElementsResourcesDestructionUnityHearingAll TimeThanksConfusedDelusionDestroyingHumankindAgain And AgainTime And SpaceGrandioseUnderstanding Each Other Author:Stefan Zweig
“Success is the ability to meet worthy goals, but it's also the ability to love and have compassion and the ability to get in touch with your creative center, to transform yourself toward more peaceful and just pursuits. I hope we redefine success. Otherwise, we'll see more of what we're already seeing - more aggression, more burnout, more Wall Street scandals, more war, more terrorism, more eco-destruction.” WarGoalAbilityCompassionCreativeSeeingStreetsWallDestructionWorthyTerrorismPursuitPeacefulAggressionScandalBurnoutEcoAbility To Love Author:Deepak Chopra
“My travels through physics really are the same urges that make me travel through ecology. They are not really different, except that there is an added dimension of seeing ecological destruction and seeing the very life-support system that makes us survive on this planet being destroyed. That makes me do more than just inquire; it compels me to act and to intervene.” DifferentSupportSeeingPlanetsDestructionPhysicsDestroyedDimensionsUrgesEcologyEcologicalSupport Systems Author:Vandana Shiva
“For example, the idea that objects have properties out there in fixed ways is an incorrect idea about the world. Properties are created through relationships and processes. They are not inherent in electrons or photons or quanta any more than they are inherent in soil or trees or people. So my critique of reductionistic science is a critique that I have inherited from my scientific training. But it has been deepened by my experiences as an ecologist, in seeing the ecological destruction taking place today.” PeopleWorldWayHas BeensIdeasTodayProcessSeeingTreeExampleObjectsTrainingDestructionPropertyFixedSoilQuantumInherentCritiqueEcologicalElectronsPhotons Author:Vandana Shiva
“What we're seeing now is not just a backlash against feminism. When you look at guys like [Jesse] Helms in the '80s or even Reagan and Bush, there was a real political backlash against feminism. This is different. This is a parodic recreation of the destruction of traditional masculinity. Look at these hollow men. Look at Steve Bannon who wears sweat pants, who doesn't shave. Or Yiannopoulos who is just a clown. This is toxic masculinity. It's new. To see it as a return to the past is a mistake. It's the breakdown of traditional masculinity, rather than its retrenchment.” MenLooksDifferentRealPastPoliticalGuyMistakeSeeingFeminismReturnDestructionTraditionalSweatToxicPantsMasculinity80sClownHollowBreakdownRecreationBacklashHelmHollow Man Author:Stephen Marche

“Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.” LongEyeHumanitySocialVisionTechnologyCreativeSeeingConditionsAchievementProjectsDestructionHistoricalHealDespiteOur TimeAweSocial ConditionsCleavageHumanity And Nature Author:Murray Bookchin
“A private man, however successful in his own dealing, if his country perish is involved in her destruction; but if he be an unprosperous citizen of a prosperous city, he is much more likely to recover.
