“When civilization is strong and widespread enough, "culture" will appear and take care of itself.”

“I wasn't sure about that, but one never knows. Sometimes a neighborhood, like a culture or civilization, is strong enough to absorb and acculturate any number of newcomers. But I don't know if that's true around here any longer. The outward forms and appearances look the same - [...]- but the substance has been altered.”

“When your desires are strong enough, you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve.”

“This book is about fighting back. The dominant culture -civilization- is killing the planet, and it is long past time for those of us who care about life on earth to begin taking the actions necessary to stop this culture from destroying every living thing.”

“It is not enough that your designs, nay that your actions, are intrinsically good, you must take care they shall appear so.”

“When a man is sufficiently motivated, discipline will take care of itself.”
