[sample] 01:12 - And they shall also make gardens and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, which I have given them, your god. And the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and the hills shall melt. And they shall build the waste cities and live in them. And they shall plant vineyards and drink the wine of them.

[sample] 0:15 - What were the skies like when you were young? They ran on forever. They... When I... We lived in Arizona and the skies always had little fluffy clouds in them. And uh... They were long and clear and there were lots of stars at night. And uh... When it would rain it would all turn... It... They were beautiful, the most beautiful skies as a matter of fact. Uh... The sunsets were purple and red and yellow and on fire and the clouds would catch the colors everywhere. That's neat 'cause I used to look at them all the time when I was little. You don't see that. ...You might still see it in the desert.

[sample] 02:23 - Man's achievement is to have created a world of the mind, of the intellect and imagination, which is as real in its way as any actual country on the map. Sir Karl Popper, in one of his most important papers, calls it "the third world," or World Three. The first world is the objective world of things. The second world is my inner subjective world. But, says Popper, there is a third world, the world of objective contents of thoughts... Teilhard de Chardin called this "third world" the noösphere-the world of mind.
