Peter Russell Quotations

The principal artists' rooms are so big that in New York 12 people would be living in them,

We need to be a lot quicker in forming our defence and a lot more assertive when we go in for the tackle,

What we have been doing seems to have worked well so we won't be changing anything for this one,

Our box-office take for Carmen exceeded the usual take for an entire season.

I think having fresh legs there did help the scrummaging effort. We got more stability and that was important at that stage of the game.

We're not sorting through the garbage and looking in garbage bags. This is just a visual check and we're going to assume what we see on top represents the garbage beneath.

We planned on stopping (subscriptions) on the Monday after opening weekend, ... But we shut it off on Aug. 23. We are at 62 percent. That's insane - it's unheard of for us.

We do have a few innovations we'd like to try, but overall it will be all about winning our own set piece ball and retaining it for long periods. Controlling our own possession is the key.

We see a lot of cardboard, glass, and plastic bottles in commercial garbage bins that should be recycled. We're more than happy to work with businesses to get them started with recycling and we hope they'll cooperate.

The singers are genuinely psyched to be here, especially those who've sung (in Denver) before,

Now audiences will be able to hear opera the way it is supposed to sound.

He (Bargh) has done everything expected of him and he certainly hasn't been dropped though any lack of form. But there are advantages in having two halfbacks with different styles of play and he (McKenzie) will give us that..

Information is recorded in vast interconnecting networks. Each idea or image has hundreds, perhaps thousands, of associations and is connected to numerous other points in the mental network.

Paradoxically one of the greatest advantages of mind maps is that they are seldom needed again. The very act of constructing a map is itself so effective in fixing ideas in memory that very often a whole map can recalled without going back to it at all. A mind map is so strongly visual and uses so many of the natural functions of memory that frequently it can be simply read off in the mind's eye.

As the proportion of people reaching higher states of consciousness increases, this inertia will decrease, and at the same time a supportive momentum in the new direction will start building up.

Sometimes we may find that our partner continues to seek satisfaction in ways that we cannot live with. Nevertheless, when we decide to go our own way, we still have a choice as to how we separate. We can separate with bad feelings, blaming the other's faults and unacceptable behaviour, or we can separate with forgiveness, love and understanding.

One's whole being vibrates like strings brushed by an invisible wind.

If we want to find God, we have to look within, into the realm of deep mind-a realm that science has yet to explore.

Memory is not like a container that gradually fills up, it is more like a tree growing hooks onto which memories are hung. Everything you remember is another set of hooks on which more new memories can be attached. So the capacity of memory keeps on growing. The more you know, the more you can know.

We are living through the most exciting, challenging and most critical time in human history. Never before has so much been possible; and never before has so much been at stake.

Science can explain what's happening down inside atoms and what's happening at the edge of the universe, but it cannot explain consciousness. It's a paradox--withou t consciousness there would be no science, but science doesn't know what to do, at all, with consciousness.

We can go through our whole lives worrying about our future happiness, and totally miss where true peace lives-right here, right now.
