"Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his lttle finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed." »William James

|
"Politics is still crucially important. Our choices are vital, and we've got to make them, and not just say, 'Oh, they're all the same.'

Now all this is literally true, as men knew in the great past and as they will know again." »D. H. Lawrence
