QUOTES OF THE MONTH
"Jeannette Armstrong, a Native American from the Okanagan tribe from the Northwest, had a wonderful word for insanity. She told us that it had four syllables and each syllable had a different meaning. The first meant 'talking, talking inside your head'; the second meant 'scattered and having no community'; the third syllable meant 'disconnected from the land'; and the fourth syllable meant 'cut off from your whole earth part.'"
Sarah Conn
"The law in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to beg in the streets, steal bread, or sleep under a bridge."
Anatole France
"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."
W. B. Yeats
"We have become accustomed to identifying a wide range of physical and social disorders – everything from war to ethnic intolerance, stress and trauma disorders, epidemic disease and the vague dissatisfactions that lead to addictions and suicide – as weaknesses in the social, political, or technological order, rather than evidence of a deep ecological dissociation from our genetic core."
Paul Shepard in his book "Coming Home to the Pleistocene"
