It is inherent in human consciousness to improve. So there is nothing unique about a people searching for and creating ways to make their life better - all civilizations throughout history have done this.

Passion is not a quality that is foreign to you. It is not a characteristic that some people are born with and some must do without. To be passionate is as natural to you as breathing, as natural as being alive. It is the source of who you are.
Barbara De Angelis
It is easy to be mindless in America, because dreaming of and living for a better tomorrow is the American way. ... The problem is, in the second half of the twentieth century, we have gotten so good at living for tomorrow that most of us spend very little time in the present.
Barbara De Angelis
May all that is not love within us and without be healed. May all that is love within us and without us be revealed. May every day of our lives be lived in love.
Barbara De Angelis
I just want to get a Ph.D. in love.
