“Your Intuition And Your Intellect Should Be Working Together, Making Love. That’s How It Works Best.”

Teenagers have been deformed by social media. There's a sense they fit, but not as agents, not as full human beings who are making a future for themselves.

“We have to explore to survive. As soon as we have traces of life, if you don’t diversify your environment, if as a little bacteria you don’t jump to the next rock, you don’t give yourself the best chance to survive. Staying put means death. It is true physically, spiritually and intellectually.” - Astrobiologist Nathalie Cabrol, The SETI Institute

I've wasted the greater part of my life looking for money. It's about 2% movie-making and 98% hustling.

This is the beginning of the healing from the addiction – the addiction to oil, the addiction to consumerism, the addiction to that lifestyle which leaves you strung out, feeling miserable and lonely. There is more work to be done. - Doug Good Feather

“From out there on the moon, politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out, and say - Look at that, you son of bitch.” - Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14
