“many adults continue to do animistic things even in cultures that do not vigorously encourage them to do so. Naming cars and swearing at recalcitrant computers are common examples of the personalizing of the world – even if, when pressed, people insist they do not really expect a positive response from inanimate machines”
― Graham Harvey, The Handbook of Contemporary Animism

“Nothing can defeat the spirit of the earth.

The fairies know that the earth will not tolerate the men much longer. The earth, scarred and gouged and stripped and bombed, will deny life to the men in order to stop the men. The fairies have left the men's reality in order to destroy it by making a new one.”
― Larry Mitchell, The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions

“All humans, indeed all animals, have the propensity to respond to events as if they were intentional and personal. For some analysts this is animism. It seems likely that all humans are tempted to personalize even the artefacts with which they live: if they do not ask “fetishes” to guide them or amulets to protect them, they are likely to name their vehicles or weapons (from spears to atomic bombs).”
― Graham Harvey, The Handbook of Contemporary Animism
