««нормальное» состояние ума большинства людей содержит значительную долю того, что можно назвать функциональным расстройством, или даже сумасшествием.»
«Новая земля. Пробуждение к своей жизненной цели» Экхарт Толле
«История человечества в значительной степени и есть история безумия. Если ее уподобить истории болезни какого-то человека, то диагноз был бы таким: хронические параноидальные галлюцинации, патологическая склонность к убийствам, крайним формам насилия и жестокости по отношению к воображаемым «врагам», то есть его собственная, спроецированная наружу, неосознанность. Безумство с преступными наклонностями, перемежающееся редкими короткими проблесками ясного сознания.»
«Новая земля. Пробуждение к своей жизненной цели» Экхарт Толле
«Curious how a place unvisited can take such hold on the mind so that the very name sets up a ringing. To me such a place was Fargo, North Dakota. Perhaps its first impact is in the name Wells-Fargo, but my interest certainly goes beyond that. If you will take a map of the United States and fold it in the middle, eastern edge against western, and crease it sharply, right in the crease will be Fargo. On double-page maps sometimes Fargo gets lost in the binding. That may not be a very scientific method for finding the east-west middle of the country, but it will do. But beyond this, Fargo to me is brother to the fabulous places of the earth, kin to those magically remote spots mentioned by Herodotus and Marco Polo and Mandeville. From my earliest memory, if it was a cold day, Fargo was the coldest place on the continent. If heat was the subject, then at that time the papers listed Fargo as hotter than any place else, or wetter or drier, or deeper in snow.»
«The redwoods, once seen, leave a mark or create a vision that stays with you always. No one has ever successfully painted or photographed a redwood tree. The feeling they produce is not transferable. From them comes silence and awe. It's not only their unbelievable stature, nor the color which seems to shift and vary under your eyes, no, they are not like any trees we know, they are ambassadors from another time. They have the mystery of ferns that disappeared a million years ago into the coal of the carboniferous era. They carry their own light and shade.»
