Living things have been doing just that for a long, long time. Through every kind of disaster and setback and catastrophe. We are survivors.

Speed and efficiency do not always increase the quality of life.

I often say that I don't worry about the meaning of life-I can't handle that big stuff. What concerns me is the meaning in life-day by day, hour by hour, while I'm doing whatever it is I do. What counts is not what I do, but how I think about myself while I'm doing it.

I'm good at doing the laundry. At least that. And it's a religious experience...Water, earth, fire-polarities of wet and dry, hot and cold, dirty and clean. The great cycles-round and round-beginning and end-Alpha and Omega, amen.

It doesn’t matter what you say you believe - it only matters what you do.
