Symbolic systems with massive powers. But symbolic systems that sometimes do enormous injustice to the richness of that which they attempt to represent. Symbol systems that sometimes do enormous injustice to science's greatest mystery, cosmic creativity. — Howard Bloom

We have failed to see that our finest qualities often lead us to the actions we most abhor, murder, torture, genocide and war. — Howard Bloom
