A Quote by Thomas Berry

We see quite clearly that what happens to the nonhuman, happens to the human. What happens to the outer world, happens to the inner world. — © Thomas Berry
We see quite clearly that what happens to the nonhuman, happens to the human. What happens to the outer world, happens to the inner world.
To me, inner and outer are so strongly linked that any collective change that happens within human beings, within the human psyche, inevitably will be reflected externally in what happens on the whole planet.
It is not what happens that determines the major part of your future. What happens, happens to us all. It is what you do about what happens that counts.
Painting, for me, when it really 'happens,' is as miraculous as any natural phenomenon - as say, a lettuce leaf. By 'happens,' I mean the painting in which the inner aspect of man and his outer aspects interlock.
For most human beings, if what they want happens, it is a success. If what they could not have imagined happens, it is luck. If what nobody could foresee happens, it is a miraculous existence.
That's the one thing I don't like hearing, when someone says, 'We'll see what happens, see what happens here, see what happens there.' Forget all of that.
With the films, it starts off with certain coordinates in the world and seeing what happens. What happens if you place yourself at an oil refinery in the Middle East? What happens if you place yourself in the White House Cabinet Room? What happens if you place yourself with Brad Pitt on the set of a film? And so on. And no matter what I capture, there is a sense of déjà vu to it, like you might have come across this visual before.
Whatever happens happens. If something happens, something happens. But I believe in God, and I pray every day.
With any entertainment business, you sort of have to be OK with just going with it. I've learned very much to just go with the flow and see what happens with my life, and what happens happens.
I try not to become friends with musicians, but life happens and dinner happens and going out happens - it becomes interwoven in L.A.
The struggle is inner: Chicano, indio, American Indian, mojado, mexicano, immigrant Latino, Anglo in power, working class Anglo, Black, Asian--our psyches resemble the bordertowns and are populated by the same people. The struggle has always been inner, and is played out in outer terrains. Awareness of our situation must come before inner changes, which in turn come before changes in society. Nothing happens in the "real" world unless it first happens in the images in our heads.
The artwork had very little to do with the thought process, and the writing too, for that matter. What happens, happens, and it happens outside the brain.
Nothing happens in the 'real' world unless it first happens in the images in our heads
What happens in Britain, what happens in the world, matters a lot to us in our core business.
I have always been interested in that relationship between what happens in our head and what happens in the world.
When grace happens, generosity happens. Unsquashable, eyepopping bigheartedness happens.
I just want to be happy and let the world know who I am, and whatever happens, happens... who wants to be uncomfortable?
