“The woman who needs to create works of art is born with a kind of psychic tension in her which drives her unmercifully to find a way to balance, to make herself whole. Every human being has this need: in the artist it is mandatory. Unable to fulfill it, he goes mad. But when the artist is a woman she fulfills it at the expense of herself as a woman.” WayNeedsHumansKindArtWholeArtistBornHuman BeingsBalanceArt IsMadTensionExpensesWorks Of ArtPsychics Book:From May Sarton's well: writings of May Sarton Source: From May Sarton's well: writings of May Sarton

“It is largely dissynchronous timing standards that have kept human beings off-balance and alienated from the natural cycles of the Earth they inhabit. The worst culprit is the Gregorian calendar, and by extension the "12:60 frequency" that it fosters - together these have become, in essence, the inescapable time clock of globalist capitalism.” HumansEarthTogetherPeaceNaturalHuman BeingsWorstBalanceStandardsCapitalismEssenceClockCyclesTimingExtensionsFrequencyCalendarsCulpritTime Clock Author:Jose Arguelles
“I'm trying to learn something about making a balance between the inner life and the outer life.

“Above all, we should question the consumer ethic, which uses up non-renewable resources, creates inequality and injustice, generates pollution, destroys other species and upsets the balance of nature. The consumer ethic not only defiles the environment by creating undesirable change in the biosphere but also corrupts the mind and body by defining pleasure in terms of ownership and absorption. Waste itself is a human concept; everything in nature is eventually used. If human beings carry on in their present ways, they will one day be recycled along with the dinosaurs.” IfsWayShouldMindHumansUseBodyUsedTermHuman BeingsPleasureInspiringEnvironmentBalanceOne DayWasteCreatingEthicsConceptsResourcesSpeciesInjusticeInequalityConsumersUpsetPollutionOwnershipDefiningMind And BodyDinosaursAbsorptionUndesirableRecycledBiosphereRenewable Resources Author:Peter Marshall
“Being a pessimist is just such a gloomy way of looking at things, so I have to hope for the best - life wouldn't be worth living if we didn't have hope. And I also do think that human beings often do do wonderful, correct, brilliant things. So, on balance, I'd like to be optimistic about the future.” IfsThinkingWayHumansHuman BeingsWonderfulBalanceBrilliantOptimisticMy WayWorth LivingPessimistGloomyHaving HopeHoping For The BestBeing Optimistic Author:Bill Bryson
