“When I look over my past, I see that the stages in my life are like the phases of the moon. I've had periods where I was the waxing gibbous: fat with wealth and success. There have been other seasons when my happiness was like the waning crescent and I watched my joy fade away slowly, merging with the atmosphere around me as if it never existed. Then I felt as if I was left with nothing more than an illusion, but happiness returns in time and glows once more in corpulent fullness. It's time that makes the difference.” IfsLooksHas BeensPastJoyLeftFeltDifferencesWealthStageReturnPeriodsMoonIllusionSeasonsFatsAtmosphereFadesPhasesFullnessMy PastFade AwayMergingCrescentWaxingWealth And SuccessPhases Of The Moon Author:Amy Neftzger

“During this period (of technological confinement / [and language]) the human mind has been placed in its narrowest confines it has experienced since consciousness emerged from its Paleolithic phase. Even the most primitive tribes have a larger vision of the universe, of our place and functioning within it, a vision that extends to celestial regions of space and to interior depths of the human in a manner far exceeding the parameters of our world of technological confinement.” WorldMindHumansHas BeensUniverseLanguageSpaceConsciousnessVisionPeriodsDepthRegionsOur WorldHuman MindPrimitivePhasesTechnologicalTribesInteriorsCelestialParametersConfinement Author:Thomas Berry
“A painter like Picasso, who runs through many periods and phases, ends up by saying all those things which are on the tip of the tongue of the age to say, and finally sterilizes the originality of his contemporaries and juniors.” EndsRunningAgePeriodsTonguePainterOriginalityPhasesJuniors Book:The human use of human beings: cybernetics and society Source: The human use of human beings: cybernetics and society

“The creative act always requires a stepping back. It's called the incubation period. The incubation period - one of the four phases of creativity - is when you're not consciously thinking of a problem, and you're letting it marinate. So this is why you hear time and again, people saying they had that "Eureka" moment in the bath, like Archimedes, or in the shower, or while going for a walk or in a coffeehouse.” PeopleThinkingMomentsProblemWalksCreativityCreativeFourPeriodsPhasesShowersBathsIncubationStepping Back Author:Eric Weiner

“We need to roll back precarious employment models. Temporary and limited contracts were initially seen as a way of introducing more flexibility so as to bridge periods of need in certain phases of production.

In general, we must strive for equal pay for equal work.” WayNeedsCertainPayTakenPeriodsEqualModelsAdvantageStriveProductionsEmploymentBridgesTemporaryContractsIntroducingPhasesWagesFlexibilityEmployersPrecariousEqual PayTaken Advantage Author:Martin Schulz
