The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.”
—Murray Bookchin (b. 1941)
“Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.”
