Our willingness to acknowledge that we only see half the picture creates the conditions that make us more attractive to others. The more sincerely we acknowledge our need for their different insights and perspectives, the more they will be magnetized to join us.

This is a world of process, not a world of things.

[A]ll change, even very large and powerful change, begins when a few people start talking with one another about something they care about.

In this present culture, we need to find the means to work and live together with less aggression if we are to resolve the serious problems that afflict and impede us.

All of us need better skills in listening, conversing, respecting one another's uniqueness, because these are essential for strong relationships.

There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.

In this new world, you and I make it up as we go along, not because we lack expertise or planning skills, but because that is the nature of reality. Reality changes shape and meaning because of our activity. And it is constantly new. We are required to be there, as active participants. It can't happen without us and nobody can do it for us.
