"We no longer have the luxury of spending our energy on anything that does not lead us and our families to Christ."
— Sheri L. Dew

"I'm starting to believe that happily ever after includes people doing things that upset each other. We all get cranky, or impatient, or worried, or careless enough to do or say things that hurt someone else. Like it or not, that's normal. We can't blame it all on Olympia's bad energy. The important part is that we feel sorry about what we've done and make up for it. That's something Olympia never did."
— Jean Ferris (Twice Upon a Marigold)

"Don't mistake activity with achievement."
— John Wooden

"A nation that can't control its energy sources can't control its future."
— Barack Obama (The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream)

"After all, is it not the way we humans shape the universe, shape time itself? Do we not take the raw stuff of chaos and impose a beginning, middle, and end on it, like the simplest and most profound of folktales, to reflect the shapes of our own tiny lives? And if the physicists are right, that the physical world changes as it is observed, and we are its only known observers, then might we not be bending the entire chaotic universe, the eternal, ever-active Now, to fit that familiar form?"
— Tad Williams (Sea of Silver Light)

"We all have the ability to heal ourselves; I know, I have done so...
In the morning, know that you are Loved, You Are Love and You Love"
— Lisa Bellini

"When we dislike someone, or feel threatened by someone, the natural tendency is to focus on something we dislike about the person, something that irritates us. Unfortunately, when we do this--instead of seeing the deeper beauty of the person and giving them energy--we take energy away and actually do them harm. All they know is that they suddenly feel less beautiful and less confident, and it is because we sapped their energy."
— James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy)

"This has ever been the fate of energy in security; it takes to art and to eroticism, and then comes languor and decay."
— H.G. Wells (The Time Machine)

"...The human perception of this energy first begins with a heightened sensitivity to beauty."
— James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy)

"...We humans have always sought to increase our personal energy in the only manner we have known, by seeking to psychologically steal it from the others--an unconscious competition that underlies all human conflict in the world."
— James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy)

"When love first happens, the individuals are giving each other energy unconsciously and both people feel buoyant and elated. That's the incredible high we call being ‘in love.’ Unfortunately, once they expect this feeling to come from another person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other--only now there doesn’t seem to be enough and so they stop giving each other energy and fall back into their dramas in an attempt to control each other and force the other’s energy their way."
— James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy)

"All beings are encompassed within one all-encompassing great energy: So I understood from the coolness of this morning's passing breeze."
— Mumon

"...the basic stuff of the universe, at its core, is looking like a kind of pure energy that is malleable to human intention and expectation in a way that defies our old mechanistic model of the universe--as though our expectation itself causes our energy to flow out into the world and affect other energy systems."
— James Redfield (The Celestine Prophecy)

"Each being in the universe yearns for the free energy necessary for survival and development. Each existence resists extinction. The consequent history of violence in the universe is as inevitable as the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Sun."
— Brian Swimme (The Universe Story : From the Primordial Flaring Forth to the Ecozoic Era--A Celebration of the Unfolding of the Cosmos)
