We get so identified with an idea that it is literally a pet notion and we rise to its defense and stop our eyes and ears to anything different.

Dewey, John

27.

You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now?

Don't you ever do it. That drug that someone might want you to use, don't touch it. Stay away from it. It can destroy you.

Hinckley, Gordon B.

32.

You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self.

The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road -- the one less traveled by -- offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.
