From "The Wayfinders""every culture is by definition a vital branch of our family tree,
a repository of knowledge and experience, and, if given the opportunity,
a source of inspiration and promise for the future."
"the social world in which we live does not exist in some absolute sense, but rather is
simply one model of reality, the consequence of one set of intellectual and spiritual choices
our particular cultural lineage made, however successfully, many generations ago."
"the full measure of a culture embraces both the actions of a people and the quality
of their aspirations, the nature of the metaphors that propel their lives."
