"A Brain can do all
kinds of things, but the things that it can do are not the most
important things. Abstract cleverness of the mind only seperates the
thinker from the world of reality, and that world, the Forest of Real
Life, is in a desperate condition now because of too many who think too
much and care too little. In spite of what many minds have thought
themselves into believing, that mistake cannot continue for much longer
if everything is going to survive. The one chance we have to avoid
certain disaster is to change our approach, and to learn to value wisdom
and contentment. These are the things that are being searched for
anyway, through Knowledge and Cleverness, but they do not come from
Knowledge and Cleverness. They never have, and they never will. We can
no longer afford to look so desperately hard for something in the wrtong
way and in the wrong place. If Knowledge and Cleverness are allowed to
go on wrecking things, they will before much longer destroy all life on
earth as we know it..."
