Robert Shea

Of all human inventions the organization, a machine constructed of people performing interdependent functions, is the most powerful.

Even while we busily attend meetings, contribute money and perform our assigned tasks, we suspect that we may be helping to create a force that is inimical to many values we hold dear.

Individuals, too, who cultivate a variety of skills seem brighter, more energetic and more adaptable than those who know how to do one thing only.

I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.

I have always had confidence in my own ability.

The principle of art is to pause, not bypass.
