“The journey transforms the destination.”
“But what has changed? The truth is that nothing changes...It is we who have changed, we who are beguiled by technological change, we who have ceased to believe that a certain situation exists while beginning to believe a new one has replaced it. We still love and hate, suffer and feel joy, resent and admire, covet and sacrifice. We still allow some with power to exploit and marginalize others without power, and we still look on quietly, feeling bad about it all but doing nothing. Nothing at all changes when new technologies are introduced into a culture. Nothing changes but our attitudes about what is and is not “real,” what is and is not “important,” what is and is not worth knowing. And we change because we choose to change, because media, as McLuhan tells us, are nothing more than extensions of us.”
“Collaboration is vital to sustain what we call profound or really deep change, because without it, organizations are just overwhelmed by the forces of the status quo. ”
“If you are dead you are totally unable to do anything to change your condition. We are spiritually helpless and hopeless and if our condition is to change, God must do it because we cannot.”
“Lord, where we are wrong, make us willing to change; where we are right, make us easy to live with.”
“Who has choices need not choose. We must, who have none. We can love but what we lose-- What is gone is gone.”
