“It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What's needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take 'everyone on Earth' to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.” KnowsGivingFirstsDoeEarthGivenCausesJusticeGroupsNeededGiving UpMassEndureCriticalDeterminedDramaticContinuingNot Giving UpAccumulationPeace And JusticeGaleCritical MassDramatic Change Author:Clarissa Pinkola Estes
“Civilization, that great fraud of our times, has promised man that by complicating his existence it would multiply his pleasures. ... Civilization has promised man freedom, at the cost of giving up everything dear to him, which it arrogantly treated as lies and fantasies. ... Hour by hour needs increase and are nearly always unsatisfied, peopling the earth with discontented rebels. The superfluous has become a necessity and luxuries indispensable.” MenNeedsGivingEarthLyingHoursPleasureExistenceFantasyCivilizationCostGiving UpIncreaseDearTreatedLuxuryOur TimeFraudRebelIndispensableSuperfluousUnsatisfied Author:Isabelle Eberhardt
