All quotes from
Paul & Sherry's book
Values are the best single predictor of real behavior.
When you
can hear the incessant humming of the dominant culture’s story, you step across
the invisible threshold.
Shocks
are necessary if any growth is to come.
We need
elders for the children and their concerns.
We need them for the young people, who need initiations themselves. And we need them for adults in the middle of
their lives who, imagining there is nowhere further to go, stay in the middle
age or try to be like the raw uninitiated, adolescents that they feel inside.
