“The young watch television twenty-four hours a day, they don't read and they rarely listen. This incessant bombardment of images has developed a hypertrophied eye condition that's turning them into a race of mutants. They should pass a law for a total reeducation of the young, making children visit the Galleria Borghese on a daily basis.” ShouldChildrenEyeLawYoungHoursRaceWatchesFourConditionsTelevisionBasesTwentiesIncessantMutants Author:Federico Fellini

“There is some evidence that average wave heights are slowly rising, and that freak waves of eighty or ninety feet are becoming more common. Wave heights off the coast of England have risen an average of 25 percent over the past couple of decades, which converts to a twenty-foot increase in the highest waves over the next half century. One cause may be the tightening of environmental laws, which has reduced the amount of oil flushed into the oceans by oil tankers.” MayPastLawNextCausesWaterCommonHalfFeetCenturyAmountCoupleBecomingOceanHighestPercentEvidenceIncreaseEnglandTwentiesEnvironmentalAverageWaveOilDecadesHeightRisingFreakCoastNinetyEightyRisenOver The PastBecoming More Author:Sebastian Junger

“Religion is not about accepting twenty impossible propositions before breakfast, but about doing things that change you. It is a moral aesthetic, an ethical alchemy. If you behave in a certain way, you will be transformed. The myths and laws of religion are not true because they they conform to some metaphysical, scientific or historical reality but because they are life enhancing. They tell you how human nature functions, but you will not discover their truth unless you apply these myths and doctrines to your own life and put them into practice.” IfsWayLifeHumansRealityTruthLawCertainReligionChangeAcceptingMoralPracticeImpossibleHuman NatureAcceptanceEthicsDiscoveryFunctionTwentiesTransformationHistoricalMythDoctrineBehaveBreakfastEthicalAestheticTransformedConformPropositionsMetaphysicalAestheticsAlchemyFamous WomenSelf TransformationSpiritual TransformationEnhancement Author:Karen Armstrong
“Men must have somewhat altered the course of nature; for they were not born wolves, yet they have become wolves.

“When I began my career as a cosmologist some twenty years ago, I was a convinced atheist.
