"Anyway, it's like with bikes,' said the first speaker authoritatively. 'I thought I was going to get this bike with seven gears and one of them razorblade saddles and purple paint and everything, and they gave me this light blue one. With a basket. A girl's bike.''Well. You're a girl,' said one of the others.'That's sexism, that is. Going around giving people girly presents just because they're a girl."

"Dwarfs were not a naturally religious species, but in a world where pit props could crack without warning and pockets of fire damp could suddenly explode they'd seen the need for gods as the sort of supernatural equivalent of a hard hat. Besides, when you hit your thumb with an eight-pound hammer it's nice to be able to blaspheme. It takes a very special and strong-minded kind of atheist to jump up and down with their hand clasped under their other armpit and shout, "Oh, random-fluctuations-in-the-space-time-continuum!" or "Aaargh, primitive-and-outmoded-concept on a crutch!"

Change

Quote_1.png
William Irwin Thompson
"One way to find food for thought is to use the fork in the road, the bifurcation that marks the place of emergence in which a new line of development begins to branch off."

Food

Quote_1.png
William Irwin Thompson
"Catastrophes are often stimulated by the failure to feel the emergence of a domain, and so what cannot be felt in the imagination is experienced as embodied sensation in the catastrophe."

Imagination

Quote_1.png
William Irwin Thompson
"Hominid and human evolution took place over millions and not billions of years, but with the emergence of language there was a further acceleration of time and the rate of change."

Change

Quote_1.png
William Irwin Thompson
"The conscious purpose of science is control of Nature; its unconscious effect is disruption and chaos."

Science

Quote_1.png
William Irwin Thompson
"The conscious process is reflected in the imagination; the unconscious process is expressed as karma, the generation of actions divorced from thinking and alienated from feeling."

Imagination

Quote_1.png
William Irwin Thompson
"Unconscious Polities emerge independent of conscious purpose."

Purpose

Quote_1.png
William Irwin Thompson
"For the first time in human evolution, the individual life is long enough, and the cultural transformation swift enough, that the individual mind is now a constituent player in the global transformation of human culture."

Life

Quote_1.png
William Irwin Thompson
"The more chaos there is, the more science holds on to abstract systems of control, and the more chaos is engendered."

Science

Quote_1.png
William Irwin Thompson
"The teacher of history's work should be, ideally, not simply a description of past cultures, but a performance of the culture in which we live and are increasingly taking our being."
