More quotes by Jean Houston
Over-intellectualizing can justify practically anything. Reason has reasons that can create holocausts. In the 20th century, we have certainly seen how much killing and disaster has been championed with superb intellectual reasons.
Jean Houston

Love to me is - the final lines in Dante's Paradiso, when he says, The love that moves the Sun and all the stars - it's what draws us together, it's why we have leaky margins with each other.

Jean Houston

Jean Houston
We are the love, the lover, the loving, and the love. It is the Supreme. It is the deepest force in our lives.
Jean Houston
We all have the extraordinary coded within us, waiting to be released.
Jean Houston
We all get betrayed or we all betray. Life is so complex that it's almost impossible to avoid that. Betrayal is also a critical theme in all the world's great stories. If Christ had not been betrayed, would you have had the resurrection?
Jean Houston
Time has driven out sex and money as the central issues. Now if it could only drive out the issue of power we would be somewhere!
Jean Houston
Pathos activates the eyes and ears to see and hear. At times of pathos, illness opens doors to a reality which is closed to a healthy point of view.
Jean Houston
The world needs the sense that we are all in it together.
Jean Houston
Laughter is the loaded latency given us by nature as part of our native equipment to break up the stalemates of our lives and urge us on to deeper and more complex forms of knowing.
Jean Houston
Vulnerable is a catch-all word like love and schizophrenia.
Jean Houston
Education and the process of educating is a total integral, contextual situation which includes students, teachers, parents, administration and environment.
