You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
Buckminster Fuller

“Just remember - when you think all is over, the future remains.”
Robert H. Goddard

Henry David Thoreau
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion.”
Henry David Thoreau

Yehuda Amichai
“In my life are many windows
and many graves.

Sometimes they exchange
roles:
then a window is closed forever,
then by way of a gravestone
I can see
very far.

(Hebrew-to-English translation by Rabbi Steven Sager)”
Yehuda Amichai

Huston Smith
“Some friends accused me of whoring after the Infinite. Well, what better whoredom is there?”
Huston Smith, Tales of Wonder: Adventures Chasing the Divine, an Autobiography
