Frances Moore Lappé
Every aspect of our lives is, in a sense, a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.
Frances Moore Lappé

Frances Moore Lappé
Hunger is a people-made phenomenon, so the central issue is power: the power of those who make the decisions about what is grown and who, or what, it's grown for.
Frances Moore Lappé
What we need to get right is not focusing on the fear associated with quantity - not enough, scarcity, and lack - and moving instead to a worldview that explores quality and connectedness.
Frances Moore Lappé
The good life is not about avoiding fear. Just the opposite.
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
Fear doesn't have to stop us.
