“Our
deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest
fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light
not our darkness that frightens us. If, however, we let
our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission
to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear our
presence automatically liberates others”

“I
hear people everywhere saying that the trouble with our
time is that we have no great leaders any more. If we look
back we always had them. But to me it seems there is a very
profound reason why there are no great leaders any more.
It is because they are no longer needed. The message is
clear. You no longer want to be led from the outside. Every
man must be his own leader. He now knows enough not to follow
other people. He must follow the light that’s within
himself, and through this light he will create a new community.”

secret of life is to have a task, something you devote your
entire life to, something you bring everything to, every minute

thing is, it must be something you cannot possibly do.”

| Furthermore
the will to create and heal is the moral force and guiding
principle of the medical profession and is directly related
to what Cavell has described as the wish to make something,
to counter destructiveness to leave the world marginally better
than you found it, to mend it, [that] is at the heart of both
the arts and the sciences.

| “Life
is the expression of love in sound waves and energy currents,
throughout the creation and in man. Love is light, which crystallizes
as beauty in the spectrum, becomes color and gases as it is
reduced in speed of vibration, and also forms the beautiful
colors in the buds, the flowers, and the fruits. It precipitates
as the delicate pink color of the lacework of tissues in the
human form. Everywhere is the expression of love and beauty.”

“Look
at what passes for the new
You will not find it there
But in despised poems
It is difficult to get the news from poems
Yet men die miserably everyday
For lack of what is found there”

White said, “Every morning I awake torn between a desire
to save the world and an inclination to savor it. This makes
it hard to plan the day.” But if we forget to savor
the world, what possible reason do we have for saving it?
In a way, the savoring must come first.

‘Biophilia,’
which is defined as our natural sense of connectedness to
life. Wilson writes, ‘to explore and to affiliate with
life is a deep and complicated process in mental development.
To an extent still undervalued in philosophy and religion,
our existence depends on this propensity, our spirit is woven
from it, hope rises on its currents.’
It may be that our growing appreciation of that truth will
be the greatest legacy we can pass on to future generations.
E.O. Wilson
