Honest hope has an edge. It's messy. It requires that we let go of all pat answers, all preconceived formulas, all confidence that our sailing will be smooth. It's not a resting point. Honest hope is movement.
Frances Moore Lappé
Every time you take a step and walk with your fear, you'll never know the impact. But you can be certain somebody's watching, and that courage is contagious.
Frances Moore Lappé
Fear doesn't have to stop us.
Frances Moore Lappé
[Fear] means that we are human beings walking into the unknown, and that we are risking breaking with others for something we believe in.
Frances Moore Lappé
My whole mission in life is to help us find the power we lack to create the world we want.
Frances Moore Lappé
With an eco-mind, we get ready for surprises, for we realize it's just not possible to know what's possible.
Frances Moore Lappé
The good life is not about avoiding fear. Just the opposite.

Many families participate in the Community Supported Agriculture movement, which allows a family to buy shares in a farmer's produce so that they know where their food is coming from, and they can take their families out and see the farm and meet the farmer. That movement has helped create a new culture around food.
Frances Moore Lappé
We are very much social creatures who model ourselves on one another.
Frances Moore Lappé
We can all reprogram our brain's responses by putting ourselves into new, initially uncomfortable situations. We'll learn fear might not mean 'stop' I've come to believe fear usually means 'go.
