Beth Swiger
“You are the minister of the Life of God. You are the access point for God’s glory to fill the earth. The knowledge of his glory fills the earth because you partner with Him and release it.”
Beth Swiger, Desert Trained Warriors: God's Hidden Leaders Emerging from the Wilderness in the Power of the Holy Spirit

Aldous Huxley
“In those respects in which the soul is unlike God, it is also unlike itself. St. Bernard”
Aldous Huxley, The Perennial Philosophy: An Interpretation of the Great Mystics, East and West

Erich Fromm
“The discussion on motivation of work usually considers only the first problem, namely whether this or that incentive increases the economic productivity of the worker, but not the second, that of his human productivity”
Erich Fromm, The Sane Society

“As Neil Evernden has pointed out, our freedom lies not primordially in our actions within a story, but rather in the choosing of our story.”
Martin Lee Mueller, Being Salmon, Being Human: Encountering the Wild in Us and Us in the Wild

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Public libraries seem to me a powerful example of the way that gift economies can coexist with market economies, at a larger scale. . . to me, they embody the civic-scale practice of a gift economy and the notion of common property. Libraries are models of gift economies, providing free access not only to books but also music, tools, seeds, and more. We don't each have to own everything. The books at the library belong to everyone. . . Take the books, enjoy them, bring them back so someone else can enjoy them, with literary abundance for all. And all you need is a library card, which is a kind of agreement to respect and take care of the common good.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World
