• The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people.

What I have learned from these people has forever changed my life, and I believe their culture contains an inner science particularly relevant to the difficult time in which we live.

• We live in a time of transition, an uneasy era which is likely to endure for the rest of this century...

We must never yield to this temptation. Our American values are not luxuries but necessities - not the salt in our bread but the bread itself.
