More quotes by Frances Moore Lappé
Democracy is not what we have. It is what we do.
Frances Moore Lappé

Frances Moore Lappé
Hope is not what we find in evidence, it's what we become in action.
Frances Moore Lappé
What we see today is a world movement represented by the World Social Forum, involving all sorts of interactions across cultures, not to create some new ism, but to learn as we walk and to create more democratic forms of social organization that re-embed economic life in community.
Frances Moore Lappé
How we frame the world - how we talk about it and define it - affects how we see things and how we live.
Frances Moore Lappé
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

[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

Frances Moore Lappé
If we start with limits and a premise of scarcity and fear, it makes us fearful of each other, and that makes us vulnerable to anti-democratic systems.
Frances Moore Lappé
There are surprising turning points there is the straw that breaks the camel's back, and you never know if your action could be the straw.
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
Every choice we make can be a celebration of the world we want.
Frances Moore Lappé
If we cannot know what's possible, then we are free to do that which is pulling our hearts and that which is life serving.
Frances Moore Lappé
Our food system takes abundant grain,which people can't afford,and shrinks it into meat,which better-off people will pay for.
Frances Moore Lappé
When we say we have hit the limits, we are saying that nature is the problem, when in fact the limits we have hit are the limits of destruction and waste, not nature.
Frances Moore Lappé
I never like to use those terms [like pessimistic].
Frances Moore Lappé
Fear doesn't necessarily mean that we have to stop. It doesn't mean that we are failures. It doesn't mean that we are cowards.
