Franc Paul's Quotes

We can either help to make this world a more incredible place than it has ever been, or we can hasten its return to inorganic dust.

I think that if we are going to reform the world, and make it a better place to live in, the way to do it is not to talk about relationships of political nature, which are inevitably dualistic, full of subjects and objects and their relationship to one another; or with programs full of things for other people to do. I think that kind of approach starts it at the end and presumes the end is the beginning. Programs of a political nature are important end products of social quality that can be effective only if the underlying structure of social values is right. The social values are right only if the individual values are right. The place to improve the world is first in one's own heart and head and hands, and then to work outward from there. Other people can talk about how to expand the destiny of mankind. I just want to talk about how to fix a motorcycle. I think that what i have to say has more lasting value.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound
source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of
light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy,
beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of
elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions
in the the presence of great art or music or literature, or of acts of
exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin
Luther King, Jr.


The notion that science and spirituality are mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.
