Real Life Consists Of The Tensions Produced

No Degree Of Prosperity Could Justify The Accumulation Of Large Amounts Of Highly Toxic Substances Which Nobody Knows How To Make Safe And Which Remain An Incalculable Danger To The Whole Of Creation For Historical Or Even Geological Ages. To Do Such A Thing Is A Transgression Against Life Itself, A Transgression Infinitely More Serious Than Any Crime Perpetrated By Man. The Idea That A Civilization Could Sustain Itself On Such A Transgression Is An Ethical, Spiritual, And Metaphysical Monstrosity. It Means Conducting The Economical Affairs Of Man As If People Did Not Matter At All.

Modern Industry Seems To Be Inefficient To A Degree That Surpasses One's Enduring Powers Of Imagination. Its Inefficiency Therefore Remains Unnoticed.

Eagles Come In All Shapes And Sizes, But You Will Recognize Them Chiefly By Their Attitudes.

Man's Needs Are Infinite, And Infinitude Can Be Achieved Only In The Spiritual Realm, Never In The Material.

Even Bigger Machines, Entailing Even Bigger Concentrations Of Economic Power And Exerting Ever Greater Violence Against The Environment, Do Not Represent Progress: They Are A Denial Of Wisdom. Wisdom Demands A New Orientation Of Science And Technology Towards The Organic, The Gentle, The Nonviolent, The Elegant And Beautiful.
