400. 'The real marks of wildness...'
'Nature is never interrupted, never takes a vacation, never stops ruminating over its systems and tinkering with them. It works beneath a nano-level with the intelligence of entropy aimed at infinity. That's a lot of hard drive, a lot of gigabytes, a vast span, a wide plane of action, and all of it at a speed far greater than that of light because it effectively combines the velocity of all its operations at once.'
- Richard Grossinger
'There is a great insight which our culture is deliberately designed to suppress, distort, and ignore: that Nature is a minded entity; that Nature is not simply the random flight of atoms through electromagnetic fields; that Nature is not the empty, despiritualized lumpen matter that we inherit from modern physics. But it is instead a kind of intelligence, a kind of mind.'
- Terence McKenna
'The real marks of wildness are a love of nature, a delight in silence, a voice free to say spontaneous things, and an exuberant curiosity in the face of the unknown.'
- Robert Bly
