Daniel Quinn
There are times when having too much to say can be as dumbfounding as having too little.
Daniel Quinn
What's normal is for things to work. What's not normal is for things to fail.
Daniel Quinn
From infancy onward, children are the most fantastic learners in the world.
Daniel Quinn
I hope it will not be too long before the technologies that support our population explosion begin to be perceived as no less hazardous to the future of life on this planet than the endless production of radioactive wastes.
Daniel Quinn
Don't wait. Where do you expect to get by waiting? Doing is what teaches you. Doing is what leads to inspiration. Doing is what generates ideas. Nothing else, and nothing less.
Daniel Quinn
The obvious can sometimes be illuminating when perceived in an unhabitual way.
Daniel Quinn
We're not destroying the world because we're clumsy. We're destroying the world because we are, in a very literal and deliberate way, at war with it.
Daniel Quinn
There is a difference between the inmates of your criminal prisons and the inmates of your cultural prison: The former understand that the distribution of wealth and power inside the prison had nothing to do with justice.
Daniel Quinn
The world of the Takers is one vast prison, and except for a handful of Leavers scattered across the world, the entire human race is now inside that prison.
