“The typhoon came out of the sea first as a deep hollow roar. ... I was surrounded by the madness, the unreason, of uncontrolled, undisciplined energy. None of this made any sense. It was worse than useless - it was nature destroying its own creation - its own self. To create by the long process of growth and then to destroy by a fit of wild emotion - was this not madness, was this not unreason?” FirstsLongMadeSelfEnergyProcessGrowthEmotionSeaCreationFitMadnessWeatherUselessDestroyingHollowUndisciplinedTyphoons Author:Pearl S.

“The troubles of the 20th century are not unlike those of adolescence -- rapid growth beyond the ability of organizations to manage, uncontrollable emotion, and a desperate search for identity. Out of adolescence, however, comes maturity in which physical growth with all its attendant difficulties comes to an end, but in which growth continues in knowledge, in spirit, in community, and in love; it is to this that we look forward as a human race. This goal, once seen with our eyes, will draw our faltering feet toward it.” HumansLooksEndsEyeSpiritGoalGrowthCommunityAbilityRaceEmotionTroubleFeetCenturyIdentityDrawsOrganizationDifficultyManageMaturityHuman RaceDesperateAdolescence20th CenturyRapidsUncontrollableFalteringRapid GrowthSearch For Identity Author:Kenneth E.
