  23. “Those who are involved in Transition Initiatives are part of one of the biggest and most important research projects underway anywhere in the world. You are catalyzing those around you to ask the questions that government still finds it very hard to ask, but that are essential to our collective survival. You are acknowledging that it is with us that real change begins, and that it is up to us whether we accept this responsibility or shy away from it.” —Rob Hopkins

  24. “In the face of almost certain uncertainty, our job is to rise to the occasion, to evolve—in our thinking, our perspectives, and in our commitment to make this transition as positive as possible. We will probably become some new kind of human at the end of it all—it is that big and that important.” —John L. PetersenA Vision for 2012: Planning for Extraordinary Change
