Quotes by David Jaber  (?)

“If the long arc of history bends toward social justice, it also bends toward environmental justice and ecological sanity.”
David Jaber

“Certain barriers do require a critical mass of action at the right time to overcome the inertia that is greater than incremental change.”
David Jaber, Our Historic Moment: Purpose, Planet and Places to Intervene

“If the long arc of history bends toward social justice, it also bends toward environmental justice and ecological sanity.”
David Jaber

“Certain barriers do require a critical mass of action at the right time to overcome the inertia that is greater than incremental change.”
David Jaber, Our Historic Moment: Purpose, Planet and Places to Intervene

“The direction of research . . .should be:
- toward non-violence rather than violence,
- towards a harmonious cooperation with nature rather than with warfare against nature;
- towards the noiseless, low-energy, elegant, and economical solutions normally applied in nature rather than [our often] noisy, high-energy, brutal, wasteful, and clumsy solutions.”
E.F. Schumacher

“. . . our most important task is to get off our present collision course. And who is there to tackle such a task? I think every one of us, whether old or young, powerful or powerless, rich or poor, influential or uninfluential.”
E.F. Schumacher

“To talk about the future is useful only if it leads to action now.”
E.F. Schumacher
