“Progress does not have to be patented to be worthwhile. Progress can also be measured by our interactions with nature and its preservation. Can we teach children to look at a flower and see all the things it represents: beauty, the health of an ecosystem, and the potential for healing? ”
“In our modern lives we have strayed so far from living in sync with nature that integrating natural health measures into our lives can paradoxically feel unnatural.”
“The progressive intellectualization of language, its progressive conversion by the work of grammar and logic into a scientific symbolism, ... represents not a progressive drying-up of emotion, but its progressive articulation and specialization. ... We are acquiring new emotions and new means of expressing them.”
“Before we can progress in providing answers . . . we have to repent of our questions.”
“Our progress as a nation can be not swifter than our progress in education.”
“We yearn for tomorrow and the progress it represents. But yesterday was once tomorrow, and where was the progress in it?”
