  18. "Apparently there is a great discovery or insight which our culture is deliberately designed to supress, distort and ignore. That is that Nature is some kind of minded entity.

But it is instead a kind of intelligence, a kind of mind." -Terence McKenna

  19. "It is no longer enough to be smart - all the technological tools in the world add meaning and value only if they enhance our core values, the deepest part of our heart. Acquiring knowledge is no guarantee of practical, useful application. Wisdom implies a mature integration of appropriate knowledge, a seasoned ability to filter the inessential from the essential."

  20. "So to be sick unto death is, not to be able to die--yet not as though there were hope of life; no, the hopelessness in this case is that even the last hope, death, is not available. When death is the greatest danger, one hopes for life; but when one becomes acquainted with an even more dreadful danger, one hopes for death. So when the danger is so great that death has become one's hope, despair is the disconsolateness of not being able to die." - Soren Kierkegaard, The Sickness Unto Death.

Yet it is the strongest of things that exist in this world. believing is much stronger then knowing." - Mel Odom, Under Fallen Stars.
