“When I was growing up in Terrell, Texas, I felt that it was not where I was supposed to be. I knew that I was meant for a different destination.

“The gap between the rich and poor is growing among and within most nations. The political and social effects of unequal location of energy and other mineral resources are acute. Population numbers continue to climb. The global environment shows signs of widespread deterioration. Both natural and social environments are increasingly vulnerable to catastrophic disturbances... There may, however, be a cheering challenge in the possibility that out of its struggle with these realities the human race may move a bit nearer to behaving as if it were indeed one family.” IfsHumansMayShowsRealityMovingPoliticalEnergyNationsSocialBitsNaturalChallengesPoorNumbersRaceStruggleRichEnvironmentGrowingEffectsPossibilityResourcesEnvironmentalPopulationVulnerableHuman RaceClimbsGapsCheerLocationRich And PoorDisturbanceMineralsDeteriorationSocial EnvironmentMineral Resources Author:Gilbert F.

“With me, growing up in a theater family and having them be so supportive, from the jump, and being a part of this theater community where the brass ring is working, wherever that is, and then to play a character where he's not really concerned with that and is really just concerned with the monetary aspect of the job, and then to be identified with someone who is the antithesis of your energy and where you come from, has been a very interesting and surreal ride.” Has BeensPlayCharacterJobsEnergyCommunityInterestingGrowing UpGrowingConcernedAspectTheaterRingsSupportiveVery InterestingSurrealMonetaryBrassAntithesisWhere You ComeTheater Family Author:Jeremy Piven

“Yet the leaf is the chief product and phenomenon of Life: this is a green world, with animals comparatively few and small, and all dependent on the leaves. By leaves we live. Some people have strange ideas that they live by money. They think energy is generated by the circulation of coins. Whereas the world is mainly a vast leaf colony, growing on and forming a leafy soil, not a mere mineral mass: and we live not by the jingling of our coins, but by the fullness of our harvests.” PeopleThinkingWorldIdeasEnergyAnimalGrowingStrangeProductsMassGreenPlantMereChiefsSoilDependentLive ByPhenomenonHarvestLeafsCoinsFullnessColonyCirculationMineralsGreen World Author:Patrick Geddes

“But my belief is growing that our political and social evils are remediable, if only all of us who want a change for the better just get up and work for it, all the time, with as much knowledge and intelligence as we can muster for it.

“One of the remarkable characteristics of young wild sunflowers, in addition to growing in soil that is not hospitable, is how the young flower bud follows the sun across the sky.
