The old appeals to racial sexual religious chauvinism and to rabid nationalist fervor are beginning not to work. A new consciousness is developing which sees the earth as a single organism and recognizes that an organism at war with itself is doomed. We are one planet. One of the great revelations of the age of space exploration is the image of the earth finite and lonely, somehow vulnerable, bearing the entire human species through the oceans of space and time.

— Carl Sagan, (1934-1996) astrophysicist, cosmologist, astrobiologist, philosopher, advocate, lecturer, pioneered exobiology, and author of more than 20 books including The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark (via mymindtank)

Quote 1 Jun 5 notes

In the genesis of imagination, mental images represent a crucial moment : a child’s capacity to store an object’s image is the premise of the mental image and then of the imagination. In the phase of symbolic playing the child exercises upon reality, converts reality into a world of his, a world of toys, and reproduces moments of life. However, this is not imagination yet, rather an implementation of his past experiences and images to the real world. It’s a practise phase. It’s the moment when the individual completely detaches himself from animals and is able to build/invent an alternative world in relation to the real world.

I am the left brain. I am a scientist. A mathematician. I love the familiar. I categorize. I am accurate. Linear. Analytical. Strategic. I am practical. Always in control. A master of words and language. Realistic. I calculate questions and play with numbers. I am order. I am logic. I know exactly who I am.

I am the right brain. I am creativity. A free spirit. I am passion. Yearning. Sensuality. I am the sound of roaring laughter. I am taste. The feeling of sand beneath bare feet. I am movement. Vivid colors. I am the urge to paint on an empty canvas. I am boundless imagination. Art. Poetry. I sense. I feel. I am everything I wanted to be.
