To the extent humans densely aggregate, we come to hunger for community, yet tend to forget that community emerges from necessary communal reliance––a pattern precisely opposite to the iteration-agnostic nature of transaction upon which high-complexity urban life relies.

The only way to change human behavior is to woo, instead of preach. To make love, instead of threatening disaster. To point out how glorious something could be, and in some way to live it. This is the real meaning of “Make Love, Not War.”

Let no one deceive another or despise anyone anywhere, or through anger or irritation wish for another to suffer.

There must be some connection between the commercialization of life and the separation of religion from mysticism and magic.

[Noam Chomsky Quotes (Year 534) @chomsky_quotes]

What we're looking toward is a moment when the artificial language structures which bind us within the notion of ourselves are dissolved in the presence of the realization that we are a part of nature.

Onions are living creatures, and if you cut up an onion for dinner you should reverence the onion, you should respect it. Because if you don’t have a feeling of love for the onion, for the fish, for whatever you eat, you won’t cook it properly and you won’t enjoy it.
