Hugh Price HughesEnvironmentalism needs to be absolutely based in objective and verifiable science, it needs to be rational, and it needs to be flexible. And it needs to be apolitical.

But it was kind of contained and not too recognized by the public. Now art is absolutely recognized by the public.

Marianne WilliamsonI'm absolutely convinced that this is a world of appearances, not reality. There's one reality and that's Light and Love. When some say, we create our own reality, I always demur and say, "Please, would you mind adjusting that a little bit? We create our own appearances."
