Richard Powers
“The best arguments in the world won't change a person's mind. The only thing that can do that is a good story.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

“Our job is not to comprehend or control everything, but to learn which story we are in and which of the many things calling out in the world is calling to us. Our job is to be fully alive in the life we have, to pick up the invisible thread of our own story and follow where it leads. Our job is to find the thread of our own dream and live it all the way to the end.”
Michael Meade, Why the World Doesn't End: Tales of Renewal in Times of Loss

“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

“Perhaps we will not only improve our understanding and analysis but we might also learn better ways to be human, better ways to live in the world. If we do not hope for something like that it seems to me that we ought not to be taking up so much of other people’s time with our questions and our stories (G. Harvey 2011b).”
Graham Harvey, The Handbook of Contemporary Animism

“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
