“I should describe mine own nature as tripartite, my interests consisting of three parallel and dissociated groups - (a) Love of the strange and fantastic. (b) Love of the abstract truth and of scientific logick. (c) Love of the ancient and the permanent. Sundry combinations of these three strains will probably account for all my odd tastes and eccentricities.” ShouldThreeInterestGroupsMinesStrangeTasteLogicAccountsAncientFantasticCombinationPermanentOddAbstractStrainParallelsEccentricity Author:H.

“We ourselves are part of a guild of species that lie within and without our bodies. Aboriginal peoples and the Ayurvedic practitioners of ancient India have names for such guilds, or beings made up (as we are) of two or more species forming one organism. Most of nature is composed of groups of species working interdependently.” MadeTwoBodyLyingNamesGroupsIndiaSpeciesAncientOrganismsAboriginalGuildsAncient India Author:Bill Mollison

“Politics I take to be the activity of attending to the general arrangements of a set of people whom chance or choice have brought together. In this sense, families, clubs, and learned societies have their 'politics'. But the communities in which this manner of activities is pre-eminent are the hereditary co-operative groups, many of them of ancient lineage, all of them aware of a past, a present and a future, which we call states.” PeopleStatesTogetherPastPoliticalChoicesPoliticsCommunityChanceGroupsActivityAncientClubsArrangementsAttendingHereditaryLineage Author:Michael Joseph Oakeshott

“The Barbarian Way was, in some sense, trying to create a volatile fuel to get people to step out and act. It's pretty hard to get a whole group of people moving together as individuals who are stepping into a more mystical, faith-oriented, dynamic kind of experience with Christ. So, I think Barbarian Way was my attempt to say, "Look, underneath what looks like invention, innovation and creativity is really a core mysticism that hears from God, and what is fueling this is something really ancient." That's what was really the core of The Barbarian Way.” PeopleThinkingWayTryingLooksKindHardWholeTogetherMovingIndividualChristStepsCreativityGroupsInnovationAncientCoreInventionFuelMysticismMysticalBarbariansCreativity And Innovation Author:Erwin McManus
