"This
focus on money and power may do wonders in the
marketplace, but it creates a tremendous crisis
in our society. People who have spent all day
learning how to sell themselves and to manipulate
others are in no position to form lasting friendships
or intimate relationships... Many Americans hunger
for a different kind of society -- one based on
principles of caring, ethical and spiritual sensitivity,
and communal solidarity. Their need for meaning
is just as intense as their need for economic
security."
-- Rabbi Michael
Lerner

The
happy Union of these States is a wonder; their Constitution

"...Why
is compassion not part of our established curriculum,
an inherent part of our education? Compassion,
awe, wonder, curiosity, exaltation, humility -
these are the very foundation of any real civilisation,
no longer the prerogatives, the preserves of any
one church, but belonging to everyone, every child
in every school."
-- Yehudi Menuhin

Whether
sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's
heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like
appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game
of living. In the center of your heart and my
heart there is a wireless station; so long as
it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage
and power from men and from the infinite, so long
are you young.
-- Samuel Ullman
The
corporate grip on opinion in the United States
is one of the wonders of the Western world.
No First World country has ever managed to eliminate
so entirely from its media all objectivity - much
less dissent.
-- Gore Vidal
