One of the easiest ways to be irresponsible about power is to forget you have it.

Consciousness is the awareness that emerges out of the dialectical tension between possibilities and limitations.

The individual human is still the creature who can wonder, who can be enchanted by a sonata, who can place symbols together to make poetry to gladden our heart, who can view a sunrise with a sense of majesty and awe.

We must always base our commitment in the center of our own being, or else no commitment will be ultimately authentic.

When you are completely absorbed or caught up in something, you become oblivious to things around you, or to the passage of time. It is this absorption in what you are doing that frees your unconscious and releases your creative imagination.

We express our being by creating. Creativity is a necessary sequel to being.

This personal freedom to think and feel and speak authentically and to be conscious of so doing is the quality that distinguishes us as human.
