More quotes by Jean Houston
The ideas are secondary to the primary premise of people's potential. I'm always in wonder and astonishment.
Jean Houston
If you travel as much as I do - 165,000 miles last year - you exist nowhere. You're always between heaven and earth, you're always arriving in a new place, you're always starting from the beginning - talk about origins - and you don't know quite what's going to unfold. You live in the unexpected and the inexplicable all the time.
Jean Houston
Change the story and you change perception change perception and you change the world.
Jean Houston
I am ready for the rest of my life to rise.
Jean Houston
Journalists are among a select group, along with warriors and executioners who are authorized to do harm. As James Fallows says, a lot of journalists think that isn't so, and that everything will wash out ultimately. But I don't think they are aware of the long-term damage.
Jean Houston
Now is the time when we must renew ourselves and live as if we and all of life is sacred, and as if everything we do makes a difference.
Jean Houston
We live in a description of reality.
Jean Houston

Jean Houston
We all have the extraordinary coded within us, waiting to be released.
Jean Houston
If you're looking ecologically, then we are in very big trouble, yes. But if you're talking about people sinking, I'm not so sure that's true. There are cycles of rise and fall, as there have been since time immemorial.
Jean Houston
At the height of laughter, the universe is flung into a kaleidoscope of new possibilities.
Jean Houston
Engaging it produces an intense force, which in turn produces a mutation in consciousness. You become who you really are.
Jean Houston
The ecological crisis is doing what no other crisis in history has ever done - challenging us to a realization of a new humanity.
Jean Houston
I believe that we are stewards of a time that is upon us - but often we need the encouragement of each other to be able to wake up to this extraordinary time and possibility.
Jean Houston
I find you have to come as litmus paper and be available to whatever way you can be.
Jean Houston
Ironically, we are all too often educated out of rather than in to an awareness of the body.
Jean Houston
I am deeply activated by a sense of history, and have been since I was a tiny child. Really feeling that these were the times, we were the people, this was the most critical time in human history. Other people thought their times were the pinnacle and this is it. This is where we really, together, make a decision of whether to evolve or perish.
Jean Houston
