amazing quotes from an amazing memoir

here are quotes that resonated with me like no other from "sleeping where i fall" by peter coyote:

"Confidence can be taught if we can arrange for it to be experienced."
"The Mime Troupe helped me to examine the insufficiencies of liberalism: the generosity towards others that is predictated on first sustaining one's own privledge."
"From within, every culture appears as seamless as a dream...If you accept without question premises of profit and private property and if you pursue those ends, even in the best of faith, then eventually the cultural mall we call America will stand before you, the product of your cumulative efforts."
"Freedom within the relentless pressures of a market-driven society appeared impossible precisely because of its stultifying effects on the imagination in all reaslm but the material."
"From our point of view, freedom involved first liberating the imagination from economic assumptions of profit and private property that demanded existence at the expense of personal truthfulness and honor, then living according to personal authenticity and fidelity to innder directives and impulses."
"An anarchist by temperment..." -commentary: political theory and temperment are the two definitions of anarchy, and temperment is used most commonly to portray the uncivilian and reckless image of anarchy we see today
"She still burns like a sun, and her example informs my anger whenever pundits dismiss the sixties as a playpen for lethargic, self-indulgent people and blame them for today's social problems."
"Freedom forced people to improvise at the edges of their imagination in a common quest for transformation. It was not a bad dream; like eall utopian visions it was rooted in high expectations about what people could accomplish when working in concert."
"But accepting the planet as the most inclusive frame of reference subliminally unites rather than divides people, giving them all equal standing under the sun, and diminishes opportunities for contested space, status differentials, and voilence."
"...Women understood that their lot in life was an arbitrary social convention and not a preordained natural state."
"'Do your own thing made authority impossible, even legitamate authority.' Ron admitted. 'We reacted to false authority, which demeans true authority. True authority is skill, insight, and knowledge.'"
"Richard and Kirby assembled a geodesic dome in what had once been the garden of the main house...[list of people] spent the first winter in that fifteen-foot-diameter dome, which also served as the family kitchen and art studio." -pre-reading this book vision for my future, then reading this was insane
"'Capitalism is dying, boy. It's dying of its own internal contradictions. You think that the revolution's gonna take give years. It's gonna take fifty! So keep your head down and hang in for the long-haul, because I'll tell you something. The sons of bitches running things don't give a shit about theier children or their grandchildren, and they certainly don't give a shit about you! They've paid their dues, and they want to get out with theirs! They're gonna sell off everything thats not nailed down tot the highest bidder. Don't get crushed when it topples down. Take care of yourself and your family. If you can make a difference, do it, but there are huge forces at work here, and they have to play themsleves out according to their own design, not yours. Watch yourself.' As far as I can determine, everything he prophesied has come true." -from his dad
"High ideals and visionary brilliance were no substitute for daily practice grounded in spiritual insight."
"'We were creating a culture instead of creating a life.' -Freeman House"
"'People always tell you who they are. If someone laughs and says, Boy, am I a shit! believe them!' I should have remembered."

that book was amazing, i think coyote and i are parallel souls.
