"I have just worked out how the world works. It has nothing to do with the colour of your skin or the slant of your eyes or the God to whom you pray, but only whether you are a hunter or a gatherer. The hunters destroy; they are the killers and the rapists. The gatherers love, nourish and share, they are the peacemakers. Blessed are the peacemakers."
The Family Frying Pan by Bryce Courtenay
"You too, though you are not aware of it, are creators. The earth that you know is like a classroom in which you are the creators of your experience. Before birth you choose which corner of the classroom you will occupy, you choose your classmates and, with their cooperation, create your own lessons. Listen. You are responsible for everything that physical world does to you.
In your world you have entered into a self induced trance. In this trance, your skin seems to be a border between 'you' & 'not you.’ You feel disconnected from your environment."
Michael Brown, The weaver's apprentice.
"And what of that invisible education: the education in the home, in the family? We know that children who are abused often continue to treat themselves badly & we know the root cause for both boys & girls is that same lack of self esteem that has enabled the media to alienate people from their bodies.
The beauty business has a lot to answer for. Changing it couldn't be more urgent."
Anita Roddick, Business as unusual.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
