“We think because we have words, not the other way around. The more words we have, the better able we are to think conceptually.”

“If we think that the world is here for us we will continue to destroy it the way we have been destroying it, because we think we can do no harm.”

“I think there's a good chance we would have prevented at least a part of 9/11. In other words, there were four planes. There were almost 20 -- 19 persons involved. I think we would have had a much better chance of identifying those individuals who were contemplating that attack.”

“Just when we think we have a system,… the system collapses. Just when we know our way around, we get lost. Just when we think we know what's coming next, everything changes.”

“We have to be braver than we think we can be, because God is constantly calling us to be more than we are.”

““Ego itself is a fiction created in the mind by circular patterns of thinking based on separation. So, 'the ego is the fiction in the mind' - what does that mean? [It means] that ego is basically our sense of self, and the thoughts, ideas and beliefs that circle around that sense of self that go into deriving a bigger, more conceptualized version of ourself. In other words: who we think and imagine ourselves to be.””

“Not a word passes between us, not because we have nothing to say, but because we don't have to say anything”

“We think of the world as containing particular things some of which are independent of ourselves; we think of the world's history as made up of particular episodes in which we may or may not have a part; and we think of these particular things and events as included in the topics of our common discourse, as things about which we can talk to each other. These are remarks about the way we think of the world, about our conceptual scheme. A more recognizably philosophical, though no clearer, way of expressing them would be to say that our ontology comprises objective particulars. It may comprise much else besides.”

“We run, not only because we think it is doing us good, but … because it helps us to do other things better.”

“That's all we have, finally, the words, and they had better be the right ones.”
