Civilization And Its Discontents
“Seek the Path. Do not seek attainment. Seek for the Path within yourself. Do not expect to hear the truth from others, nor to see it, or read it in books. Look for the truth in yourself.” — P.D. Ouspensky

“Our World is not divided by Race, color, gender, or religion. Our world is divided into wise people and fools. And fools divide themselves by race, color, gender or religion.” — Nelson Mandela

“America has been blessed with the most extraordinary resources, talent, prosperity and power. Yet over the past 40 years, as a nation, we stopped even trying to be good, to be just, to be ethical, to be merciful. Such concepts went from the elements of a moral spine to the quaint platitudes of a discarded righteousness. Who can name one domestic or international policy — backed, as policies are, by the tremendous force of American wealth and power — where the dominant political conversation had anything to do with words such as those? Our collective behavior toward children, the poor, the planet, one another and other people around the world has been and remains so devoid of any sense of moral responsibility that we have landed on a trajectory of chaos that could hardly have led us anywhere other than where we are now.” — Marianne Williamson
