Quotes

  • I think that being an outsider has been very important for me because it made it possible for me to take a different look at the world we live in and at my place in it.
  • My research came out of my very early traumas. Out of questions like, does it really have to be this way? Does there have to be so much cruelty and violence, and insensitivity? Is it really, as we’re so often told, just human nature? Whether it’s original sin, or selfish genes, while they fight each other, it’s the same story, isn’t it?
  • We’re told we are bad. That’s inherent in us, so we have to be rigidly controlled by those on top.
  • 85% of our brain architecture is formed in the first five years.
  • Einstein said it, you can’t solve problems with the same thinking that created them.
  • I spoke at the United Nations General Assembly at a session organized by the State of Bolivia on harmony with nature, and I made the point that you can’t just tack on harmony with nature to a fundamentally imbalanced system.
