“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

“In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model. You create a new model and make the old one obsolete.”

“There must exist a paradigm, a practical model for social change that includes an understanding of ways to transform consciousness that are linked to efforts to transform structures.”

“Existence is larger than any model that is not itself the exact size of existence....”

“I was, but then I realized that I was holding on to something that didn't exist anymore. That the person I missed didn't exist anymore. People change. The things we like and dislike change. And we can wish they couldn't all day long but that never works.”

“The best way to make a permanent change for good is to make Jesus Christ your model and His teachings your guide for life.”
