The reality today is that we are all interdependent and have to co-exist on this
small planet. Therefore, the only sensible and intelligent way of resolving differences
and clashes of interests, whether between individuals or nations, is through dialogue.
- The Dalai Lama |

A human being is a part
of the whole, called by us, "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences
himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind
of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for
us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons
nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening
our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature
in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for
such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner
security
-- Albert

“...the world is a giant
community now. This excuse of distance, time, doesn’t work...We’re all so connected.
We can’t spend every second of our lives worrying about another family miles away
but we somehow have to factor it in where we can."
-- Ralph
Fiennes |
Today the network of
relationships linking the human race to itself and to the rest of the biosphere
is so complex that all aspects affect all others to an extraordinary degree. Someone
should be studying the whole system, however crudely that has to be done, because
no gluing together of partial studies of a complex nonlinear system can give a
good idea of the behavior of the whole.
-- Murray Gell-Mann

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around
you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference
you want to make.

We can all be
ourselves, be true to ourselves, and all be together.

It's really important to me to show the interconnectedness of things. I always
try to illustrate how environmentalism, humanitarianism, animal rights -- all
those things -- are one and the same.
-- Daryl

Every
man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special
and always significant and remarkable point at which the world's phenomena intersect,
only once in this way, and never again.
-- Herman Hesse Interconnection
