I'm addicted to the entire planet. I don't want to leave it. I want to get down into it. I want to say hello. On the beach, I could have stopped all day long and looked at those damned shells, looked for all the messages that come not in bottles but in shells ... ~ John McPhee
David Brower quotes by John McPhee
We need the sea. We need a place to stand and touch and listen - to feel the pusle of the world as the surf rolls in. ~ David Brower
David Brower quotes by David Brower
Polite conversationalists leave no mark save the scars upon the Earth that could have been prevented had they stood their ground. ~ David Brower
David Brower quotes by David Brower
We don't inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. ~ David Brower
David Brower quotes by David Brower
We must begin thinking like a river if we are to leave a legacy of beauty and life for future generations. ~ David Brower
David Brower quotes by David Brower
If I could go back to a point in history to try to get things to come out differently, I would go back and tell moses to go up the mountain again and get the other tablet. Because the Ten Commandments just tell us what we are supped to do with one another, not a word about our relationship to the earth. Genesis starts with these commands: multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it. We have multiplied very well, we have replenished our populations very well, we have subdued it all too well, and we don't have any other instruction. ~ David Brower
David Brower quotes by David Brower
Keep your overhead low. ~ David R. Wommack
David Brower quotes by David R. Wommack
However, perhaps the most insidious aspect of the New Age movement is what I call the Optimism Gestapo, or those who regulate and insist on positive thinking by any means necessary, where any criticism or expression of negative or painful emotions are disdained.

I once brought up to an Ashtar Command "ascencionist" (i.e. someone who believes that extraterrestrials will come and save her), the fact that democratic senator Paul Wellstone may have been murdered in order to get republican Norm Coleman elected. Before I could elaborate, she cut me off by saying, "It was just his time."

She was intolerant of the fact that I dared interfere with the reality she was creating, free of conspiracy, cutthroat politicians, and skullduggery. And the more I have played devil's advocate with New Agers, the more I have discovered that such intolerance is the norm. For there currently is a belief amongst New Agers that anything negative that one expresses will only further magnetize negativity. However, those who pursue this line of thinking just end up repressing their negative emotions, only to have them burst forth in uncontrollable ways….

Anyone seeking a supportive metaphysical community should first ask themselves if their ability to think independently is being compromised. For keeping one's metaphysical radar functioning is most important in a world crawling with "forced cheer" gurus, COINTELPRO channelers, and self-help authors. ~ David Icke
David Brower quotes by David Icke
Instead of reality being passively recorded by the brain, it is actively constructed by it. ~ David Eagleman
David Brower quotes by David Eagleman
You consider issues, but not deeply enough.
Your spring is frozen. Faith is a flowing.
Don't try to forge cold iron.
Study David, the ironsmith, and dancer, and musician.
Move into the sun. You're wrapped in fantasy
and inner mumbling. When spirit enters, a man begins to wander freely,
escaped and overrunning through the garden plants,
spontaneous and soaking in.
Now a miracle story ... ~ Rumi
David Brower quotes by Rumi
It's not lost on me that I'm so busy recording life, I don't have time to really live it. ~ David Sedaris
David Brower quotes by David Sedaris
My first introduction to television, and really just the business in general, was working with David Lynch, with his incredibly open, creative mind that was not following any rules. ~ Madchen Amick
David Brower quotes by Madchen Amick
David made no attempt to clothe his prayer (Psalm 51) with flowing rhetoric, for it is simply a series of brokenhearted sobs. He pleaded no extenuating circumstances and attempted no self-vindication. The magnitude of his sin is not toned down, but is freely acknowledged. Hear the broken sobs, expressed in vivid verbs: Have mercy! Cleanse! Blot out! Wash! Purge! Hide Your face from my sins! Create! Do not cast! Renew! Restore! Save! Open my lips!
Here is true confession, free from all sham and insincerity. Examine it in detail. ~ J. Oswald Sanders
David Brower quotes by J. Oswald Sanders
Culture exists and evolves to relegate to habit categories of interactions the constant conscious reference to which would make human interaction impossible. ~ David Mamet
David Brower quotes by David Mamet
From ancient times and into the Middle Ages, man had dreamed of taking to the sky, of soaring into the blue like the birds. One savant in Spain in the year 875 is known to have covered himself with feathers in the attempt. Others devised wings of their own design and jumped from rooftops and towers - some to their deaths - in Constantinople, Nuremberg, Perugia. ~ David McCullough
David Brower quotes by David McCullough
There is a looming chasm between what your brain knows and what your mind is capable of accessing. ~ David Eagleman
David Brower quotes by David Eagleman
The imagination, give it the least license, dives deeper and soars higher than Nature goes. ~ Henry David Thoreau
David Brower quotes by Henry David Thoreau
I'd love to work with Aaron Sorkin on something. Just the way he writes, he has no fear in writing people that are fiercely intelligent, and I love that. ~ David Tennant
David Brower quotes by David Tennant
And if the civilized man's pursuits are no worthier than the savage's, if he is employed the greater part of his life in obtaininggross necessaries and comforts merely, why should he have a better dwelling than the former? ~ Henry David Thoreau
David Brower quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Even in the virtual world, it's still all about "location, location, location." Furthermore, virtual-world sellers of products and content have very predictable demand patterns - once you understand where the target customers are. ~ David R. Bell
David Brower quotes by David R. Bell
When we reflect on the shortness and uncertainty of life, how despicable seem all our pursuits of happiness. ~ David Hume
David Brower quotes by David Hume
Absurdity is all that makes grief bearable ~ David Vann
David Brower quotes by David Vann
I believe that the human race has developed a form of collective schizophrenia in which we are not only the slaves to this imposed thought behavior, but we are also the police force of it. ~ David Icke
David Brower quotes by David Icke
The personal costs of counseling also remind us why it is so necessary for a counselor to experience continuous renewal through Scripture, prayer, and the sacraments. Only when one's own spiritual batteries are being continuously recharged can one hope to have something to give to others. And only in one's own personal walk with the Lord can one find the strength to bear not only one's own burdens but also those of others. ~ David G. Benner
David Brower quotes by David G. Benner
As for me, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are now only the subtlest imaginable essences, which would not stain the morning sky. ~ Henry David Thoreau
David Brower quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Texting has added a new dimension to language use, but its long-term impact is negligible. It is not a disaster. ~ David Crystal
David Brower quotes by David Crystal
Murder has foreseeable consequences. When it happens, it is always to distinct individuals, and after it happens, other victims are left behind. ~ David Souter
David Brower quotes by David Souter
Perhaps this is what it means to go mad: to be emptied and to be aware of the emptiness. ~ David Foster Wallace
David Brower quotes by David Foster Wallace
I don't play nostalgia acts. I don't play nostalgia shows. ~ David Cassidy
David Brower quotes by David Cassidy
The humanists' replacement for religion: work really hard and somehow you'll either save yourself or you'll be immortal. Of course, that's a total joke, and our progress is nothing. There may be progress in technology but there's no ethical progress whatsoever. ~ David Bowie
David Brower quotes by David Bowie
We must therefore glean up our experiments in this science from a cautious observation of human life, and take them as they appear in the common course of the world, by men's behaviour in company, in affairs, and in their pleasures. Where experiments of this kind are judiciously collected and compared, we may hope to establish on them a science, which will not be inferior in certainty, and will be much superior in utility to any other of human comprehension. ~ David Hume
David Brower quotes by David Hume
The challenge of history is to recover the past and introduce it to the present. ~ David P. Thelen
David Brower quotes by David P. Thelen
One of the greatest failures of every generation is that it refuses to read the minutes of the last meeting. ~ David A. Noebel
David Brower quotes by David A. Noebel
Everyone should have a tailor. David Wilkes, the guy who does my stuff, is like, 'Well you're a writer - do you want a special pen compartment or something?' Bespoke: That's the term you want to get out there. ~ Douglas Coupland
David Brower quotes by Douglas Coupland
Meditation isn't only the act of successfully keeping your attention on the breath, it's the whole period of time you spend with the intention to observe the breath. It is this intention and its application - not your success at achieving perfect concentration - that is responsible for the benefits of meditation. ~ David Cain
David Brower quotes by David Cain
Standing as a witness means many things. It encompasses the way we act, how we speak, and how we dress. When you are considering a young man as a companion, you would do will to follow the advice given some years ago by President David O. McKay: He must never "attempt to take advantage of [you. If] ... he shows [any] inclination to use you as a convenience or as a means of gratification, then you may [be sure] he is not prompted by love." It is very natural for young men and women to be attracted to each other, but they should be attracted in God-given ways rather than questionable ways, such as immodest dress. God-given attractions include your inner beauty, charm, decency, and goodness. ~ James E. Faust
David Brower quotes by James E. Faust
For if we take the ages into our account, may there not be a civilization going on among brutes as well as men? ~ Henry David Thoreau
David Brower quotes by Henry David Thoreau
We have need to be earth-born as well as heaven-born, gegeneis, as was said of the Titans of old, or in a better sense than they. ~ Henry David Thoreau
David Brower quotes by Henry David Thoreau
In every page of David Hume, there is more to be learned than from Hegel's, Herbart's and Schleiermacher's complete philosophical works. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
David Brower quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
People are talking of his susceptibility to the rising delivery, but let me tell you that when you are out of form, every ball looks like a hand grenade. ~ David Gower
David Brower quotes by David Gower
It becomes a question of 'How do we convey our differentiation instantaneously?' and drive a wedge between any apparent (or assumed) sameness in the marketplace. ~ David Brier
David Brower quotes by David Brier
One loses one's eye in the lanes of sea phosphorescence & the Mississippi of stars streaming across the heavens. ~ David Mitchell
David Brower quotes by David Mitchell
