Human consciousness arose but a minute before midnight on the geological clock. Yet we mayflies try to bend an ancient world to our purposes, ignorant perhaps of the messages buried in its long history. Let us hope that we are still in the early morning of our April day - Stephen Jay Gould
Everywhere I go I find a poet has been there before me - Sigmund Freud
Everything's in the mind. That's where it all starts. Knowing what you want is the first step toward getting it - Mae West
Everything is about direction and consciousness. You can be wrong about the details. ... I don't know what it will look like 200 years from now. But I know if we keep moving towards -- again, it is somewhat spiritual, but if we keep moving toward a recognition of our common humanity and the necessary consequences that flow from that... [the world] will certainly be more integrated - Bill Clinton, Fortune, November 11, 2001
Everyone is a prisoner of his own experiences. No one can eliminate prejudices - only recognise them - Edward Murrow
Discouragement is a negative emotion with more than one trick up its dark sleeve. It tricks you into mentally or emotionally dwelling in the very place you want to leave. Drop all such sorrow permanently by daring to see through this deception of the unconscious mind. Your past is just that, the past, a place within your psyche with no more reality to it then the picture of a castle on a postcard is made from stone. - Guy Finley, American Author
As you change your consciousness to love, peace, harmony and unity, the consciousness of the whole world will change - Eileen, Findhorn founder
A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the why for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any how - Viktor Frankl
A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe'; a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty - John Dewey, quoted in Quantum Reality, Beyond the New Physics, p. 250
