Top Plotkin Quotes

Plotkin Quotes By Sue Augustine

The reason to forgive ourselves is not because we feel like it or because we want to see ourselves as blameless but because we limit what we can receive from God when we hold on to our past. He wants to do so much more than we could ever imagine. Forgiving yourself starts with believing in God's incredible love for you and accepting His amazing grace and mercy. If God Almighty can forgive us who are we to hold on to what He has not only forgiven but forgotten — Sue Augustine

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

Arrested personal growth serves industrial "growth". By suppressing the nature dimension of human development (through educational systems, social values, advertising, nature-eclipsing vocations and pastimes, city and suburb design, denatured medical and psychological practices, and other means), industrial growth society engenders an immature citizenry unable to imagine a life beyond consumerism and soul-suppressing jobs. — Bill Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Andrew Plotkin

Werewolf is a simple game for a large group of people (seven or more.) It requires no equipment besides some bits of paper; you can play it just sitting in a circle. I'd call it a party game, except that it's a game of accusations, lying, bluffing, second-guessing, assassination, and mob hysteria. — Andrew Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

Imagination may be the most essential, uniquely human capacity - creating both the dead-end crises of our time and the doorway through them. — Bill Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

Soul has been demoted to a new-age spiritual fantasy or a missionary's booty, and nature has been treated , at best, as a postcard or a vacation backdrop or, more commonly, as a hardware store or refuse heap. Too many of us lack intimacy with the natural world and with our souls, and consequently we are doing untold damage to both. — Bill Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

What we need now are new stories to share with each other, new tales to live into the world, which is to say, stories to make real by living our own versions of them. — Bill Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Andrew Plotkin

If you already know what recursion is, just remember the answer. Otherwise, find someone who is standing closer to Douglas Hofstadter than you are; then ask him or her what recursion is. — Andrew Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Jostein Gaarder

History is one long chain of reflections. Hegel also indicated certain rules that apply for this chain of reflections. Anyone studying history in depth will observe that a thought is usually proposed on the basis of other, previously proposed thoughts. But as soon as one thought is proposed, it will be contradicted by another. A tension arises between these two opposite ways of thinking. But the tension is resolved by the proposal of a third thought which accommodates the best of both points of view. Hegel calls this a dialectic process — Jostein Gaarder

Lyle has that same footlocker in his room," said Nick. "And, dude, the — Mark Frost

The rainforests hold answers to questions we have yet to ask. — Mark Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Anne Frank

If young people wished, they have it in their hands to make a bigger, more beautiful and better world, but that they occupy themselves with superficial things, without giving a thought to real beauty. — Anne Frank

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

The soul faithfully comes to our aid through dreams, deep emotion, love, the quiet voice of guidance, synchronicities, revelations, hunches, and visions, and at times through illness, nightmares, and terrors. — Bill Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Mark Plotkin

Shiitake and reishi offer a diverse range of potential health benefits. You can take all of these supplements in perhaps eight to ten pills or capsules daily. If you take just three or four of these natural supplements at breakfast and the same number later in the day, you will have substantially increased your energy levels, boosted your immune system, lowered your risk of heart disease and cancer, and strengthened and balanced your overall system. — Mark Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By David Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury Of Turville

If you know your life chances are greatly reduced, should you be in a position to take out life insurance if that knowledge is not available to the insurers? — David Sainsbury, Baron Sainsbury Of Turville

Plotkin Quotes By Andrew Plotkin

If C++ has taught me one thing, it's this: Just because the system is consistent doesn't mean it's not the work of Satan. — Andrew Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

Nature, too, supports our personal blossoming (if we have any quiet exposure to her) through her spontaneities, through her beauty, power, and mirroring, through her dazzling variety of species and habitats, and by way of the wind, Moon, Sun, stars, and galaxies. — Bill Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By C.S. Lewis

You can't just go on being a good egg. You must either hatch or go bad! — C.S. Lewis

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

Having lost the training and rites that prepare a girl for becoming truly queenly, a mature woman, we have instead beauty-queen contests for five-year-olds. — Bill Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Andrew Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Frank R. Wilson

Buttressing this argument (that you can prevent children from learning to read or ride bicycles but you can't stop them from learning to talk), Chomsky had pointed to two other universals in human language: that its emergence in children follows a very precise timetable of development, no matter where they live or which particular language is the first they learn; and that language itself has an innate structure. Chomsky has recently reminded audiences that the origins of the structure of language - how semantics and syntax interact - remain as "arcane" as do its behavioral and neurologic roots. Chomsky himself finds nothing in classical Darwinism to account for human language.* And for that reason, says Plotkin, linguistics is left with a major theoretical dilemma. If human language is a heritable trait but one that represents a complete discontinuity from animal communicative behavior, where did it come from? — Frank R. Wilson

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

As soon as enough people in contemporary societies progress beyond adolescence, the entire consumer-driven economy and egocentric lifestyle will implode. The adolescent society is actually quite unstable due to its incongruence with the primary patterns of living systems. The industrial growth society is simply incompatible with collective human maturity. No true adult wants to be a consumer, worker bee, or tycoon, or a soldier in an imperial war, and none would go through these motions if there were other options at hand. The enlivened soul and wild nature are deadly to industrial growth economies - and vice versa. — Bill Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Mark Plotkin

Each time one of the medicine men dies, it's as if a library has burned down. — Mark Plotkin

Plotkin Quotes By Simon Pegg

There seems to be this tendency toward denigrating romantic comedies as of late because it becomes something sort of cheesy or whatever. Whereas this embraced what it was. As a fan of When Harry Met Sally or Annie Hall, as a demonstration of what romantic comedy could be and should be, I immediately phoned Nira back and said, "Yeah, I'd like to do this. It'll be fun." — Simon Pegg

Plotkin Quotes By Bill Plotkin

Given that the human soul is the very core of our human nature, we might note that, when we are guided by soul, we are guided by nature. Both soul and greater nature do guide us in our individual development, whether or not we ask for this guidance. — Bill Plotkin
