I actually think people generally have an awareness and feel like, ‚Wow, these networks have a lot of information.‘

What we know is smartphones are everywhere and they are rich in data. What we know is that there are apps once downloaded by the consumer that will also in turn download the consumers‘ contact book. Most consumers don’t want that to happen and don’t know it’s happening.

Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil.

As a research tool, the internet is invaluable.

I don’t think there is a single social issue I haven’t spoken on.

Information helps you to see that you’re not alone. That there’s somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who all have wept, who’ve all longed and lost, who’ve all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you’re not really any different from everyone else.

Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.

Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.

I walk every day, and I look at the mountains and the fields and the small city, and I say: ‚Oh my God, what a blessing.‘ Then you realise it’s important to put it in a context beyond this woman, this man, this city, this country, this universe.

The extent of your consciousness is limited only by your ability to love and to embrace with your love the space around you, and all it contains.

It’s not called quitting if you quit while you ahead. It’s about being aware and being strategic enough to know that you got to get out the pool at some point. You got to put your clothes back on and dry off.

It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that there are people who can’t or won’t see what Black Lives Matter is trying to accomplish.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

No one knows who is listening, say nothing you would not wish put in the newspapers.

No notice is taken of a little evil, but when it increases it strikes the eye.

What we have found in this country, and maybe we’re more aware of it now, is one problem that we’ve had, even in the best of times, and that is the people who are sleeping on the grates, the homeless, you might say, by choice.

I wish I had known when I was in the White House what I know now about the Third World.

The movement of search can only be from the known to the known, and all that the mind can do is to be aware that this movement will never uncover the unknown. Any movement on the part of the known is still within the field of the known.

Not many people come through esophageal cancer and live to talk about it, or not for long.

I don’t like to give advice. I like to give people information because everyone’s life is different, and everyone’s journey is different.

Not everyone can see the truth, but he can be it.

History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.

I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn’t ever have to rely on the press for my information.

At first when I heard about climate change, I was a climate denier. I didn’t think it was happening. Because if there really was an existential crisis like that, that would threaten our civilisation, we wouldn’t be focusing on anything else. That would be our first priority. So I didn’t understand how that added up.

If you live only in one culture for the first 20 years of your life, you become conditioned without knowing it.

To us also, through every star, through every blade of grass, is not God made visible if we will open our minds and our eyes.

When I was young, poverty was so common that we didn’t know it had a name.

We need every person on Earth to acknowledge that climate change is real and encourage each other and our leaders to address the challenge.

A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce, or a tragedy, or perhaps both.

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

Technology is destructive only in the hands of people who do not realize that they are one and the same process as the universe.

Our present moment is a mystery that we are part of. Here and now is where all the wonder of life lies hidden. And make no mistake about it, to strive to live completely in the present is to strive for what already is the case.

You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It’s just a matter of paying attention to this miracle.

Our global economy is much more fragile than many of us realize.

Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.

The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves – and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

He was so depressed, he tried to commit suicide by inhaling next to an Armenian.

I mean Facebook is no longer a company, it’s a country. 2 billion users. It can influence what we think, what we believe, how we vote, what we buy, even how we feel.

Every step of life shows much caution is required.

People talk to people who perceive nothing, who have open eyes and see nothing; they shall talk to them and receive no answer; they shall adore those who have ears and hear nothing; they shall burn lamps for those who do not see.

Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world.

Information, education, skills, healthcare, livelihood, financial inclusion, small and village enterprises, opportunities for women, conservation of natural resources, distributed clean energy – entirely new possibilities have emerged to change the development model.

Words do two major things: They provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and awareness.

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.

I find with most of my readers are kind of like me, sort of people who were a little bit naive in life and then learned the hard way that this is what’s going on, the political games and most of my readers write to me telling me that the book helped them open their eyes to what other people are doing to them.

The eye sees what it brings the power to see.

As Bromberger observed, rules are understood to be elements of the computational systems that determine the sound and meaning of the infinite array of expressions of a language; the information so derived is accessed by other systems in language use.

A lot of people are realizing they had the wool pulled over their eyes by Obama.

The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.

Today, the news is scandals; that is news, but the many children who don’t have food – that’s not news. This is grave. We can’t rest easy while things are this way.

Frankly, I think that the news industry is critically important because it points out things and surfaces truths that can often be uncomfortable. I think that that’s working, and the spotlight has been pointed on things that we have a responsibility to do better, and I accept that.

The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.

When you’re drowning, you don’t say ‚I would be incredibly pleased if someone would have the foresight to notice me drowning and come and help me,‘ you just scream.

Emotions are continually affecting our thought processes and decisions, below the level of our awareness. And the most common emotion of them all is the desire for pleasure and the avoidance of pain.

People are unaware of what is going on. When I talk to people, they know the basics, they know the planet is warming because of greenhouse gases… but they don’t know the actual consequence of that.

So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.

An ignorant person is one who doesn’t know what you have just found out.

These days, children can text on their cell phone all night long, and no one else is seeing that phone. You don’t know who is calling that child.
