“The feeling of connection is what we live for.”

“This false and artificial means enforces a state of ennui.”

“‎When one by one our ties are torn,And friend from friend is snatched forlorn;When man is left alone to mourn,Oh! then how sweet it is to die!”

“We are all connected in ways we cannot even begin to fathom. Our lives unfold through each other and within each other. What one suffers, we all feel. What one does changes others forever.”

“Connection is why we're here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. The power that connection holds in our lives was confirmed when the main concern about connection emerged as the fear of disconnection; the fear that something we have done or failed to do, something about who we are or where we come from, has made us unlovable and unworthy of connection.”

“until we are willing and able to make the connections between what we are eating and what was required to get it on our plate, and how it affects us to buy, serve, and eat it, we will be unable to make the connections that will allow us to live wisely and harmoniously on this earth.When we cannot make connections, we cannot understand, and we are less free, less intelligent, less loving, and less happy.”

“What we do and think in our own lives, then, becomes of extreme importance as it effects everything we're connected to.”
