• Humanity is looking for a new story. The one it has embraced since the Renaissance is no longer viable. Despite all of its positive contributions to modern life, three hundred years of scientific-technological development has left our civilization in an untenable position-at odds with its natural environment and ultimately its own deeper, collective, soul. Only a global shift in fundamental perceptions, values, and corresponding actions will allow human-kind to resume an evolutionary pat in alignment with nature and the larger cosmos.

• It is possible to speak with our heart directly. Most ancient cultures know this. We can actually converse with our heart as if it were a good friend. In modern life we have become so busy with our daily affairs and thoughts that we have lost this essential art of taking time to converse with our heart.

• Un tema sobre el que pocos intelectuales reflexionan es el derecho a ser vagabundo, la libertad de vagabundear. Sin embargo, el vagabundeo es una liberación, y la vida en la carretera es la esencia de la libertad. Tener el valor de romper las cadenas con las que la vida moderna nos ha lastrado (con el pretexto de que nos ofrecía más libertad), y luego coger el simbólico bastón y el hatillo y salir.

  Isabelle Eberhardt

• I was scared of the Bible - it seemed whenever I read it I got bad luck. Then I befriended a couple of Jesus's disciples and I used to show them modern life - how to run the hot and cold taps and things like that. They seemed alright but it didn't change my feelings about the Bible jinx.

• En el desierto te conviertes en un descubridor. Descubres tu alma, que había estado sumergida en vanos afanes, que se había perdido en los vericuetos de la vida moderna. Descubres tu parentesco con la naturaleza y el hombre, evocado por la naturalidad y la amable humanidad de los nativos del desierto, y también descubrirás a Dios.

• There are obviously two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live. Surely these should never be confused in the mind of any man who has the slightest inlinkng of what culture is. For most of us it is essential that we should make a living... In the complications of modern life and with our increased accumulation of knowledge, it doubtless helps greatly to compress some years of experience into far fewer years by studying for a particular trade or profession in an institution.

• La entrada de la mujer con igualdad de derechos en la vida práctica moderna, su nueva libertad, el encontrarse codo con codo con los hombres en las calles, oficinas, profesiones, fábricas, deportes, y ahora incluso en la vida política y militar, es uno de esos fenómenos disolutivos en los que, en la mayoría de los casos, es difícil percibir algo positivo. En esencia, todo esto no es más que la renuncia de la mujer a su derecho a ser mujer.
