“Micromessaging -- communicating with other human beings through visual, audible, sublingual means, no doubt predates our ability to speak. We actually read micromessages quite naturally without thinking about them. You might say human beings read each other's micromessages subconsciously, in the same way that one dog understands another dog is unfriendly simply because the dog's fur is standing on end. The dogs read each other perfectly. It's not all that different for people.” PeopleThinkingWayHumansMeanDifferentEndsMightSpeakHuman BeingsAbilityDoubtDogStandingCommunicateVisualsNo DoubtFurUnfriendlyAbility To SpeakCommunicating With Others Book:Micromessaging Source: Micromessaging

“When a doctor arrives to attend some patient of the working class, he ought not to feel his pulse the moment he enters, as is nearly always done without regard to the circumstances of the man who lies sick; he should not remain standing while he considers what he ought to do, as though the fate of a human being were a mere trifle; rather let him condescend to sit down for awhile.” MenFeelsShouldHumansDoneMomentsLyingHuman BeingsClassFateHe ManOughtCircumstancesStandingDoctorsSickRegardMerePatientOccupationWorking ClassPulseTrifles Book:Diseases of Workers Source: Diseases of Workers
“I feel we have to begin standing our ground in the places we love. I think that we have to demand that concern for the land, concern for the Earth, and this extension of community that we've been speaking of, is not marginal - in the same way that women's rights are not marginal, in the same way that rights for children are not marginal. There is no separation between the health of human beings and the health of the land. It is all part of a compassionate view of the world.” ThinkingWorldWayFeelsHumansChildrenEarthCommunityHuman BeingsViewsRightsLandDemandConcernStandingSeparationCompassionateWomens RightsExtensions Author:Terry Tempest Williams
