1 " At the quantum level our universe can be seen as an indeterminate place, predictable in a statistical way only when you employ large enough numbers. Between that universe and a relatively predictable one where the passage of a single planet can be timed to a picosecond, other forces come into play. For the in-between universe where we find our daily lives, that which you believe is a dominant force. Your beliefs order the unfolding of daily events. If enough of us believe, a new thing can be made to exist. Belief structure creates a filter through which chaos is sifted into order. "
― Frank Herbert , Heretics of Dune (Dune, #5)
2 " You have the choice of deliberately directing your thinking, or allowing other forces to dictate your desires and attitudes. "
3 " You must make a counter-culture decision to focus on becoming more like Jesus. Otherwise, other forces like peers, parents, coworkers, and culture will try to mold you into their image. "
― Rick Warren , The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here for?
