[Dialogue] town meeting quote

[Colleen Smith]

Thank you one and all for your help in finding the correct wording and the attribution of the quote  " what appears to be. . ." and Sunny for the other quotes.  
 Jim, to shed some light on your conumbdrum relative to have the quote addresses my life and the comment about dresses in yummy claret, chocolate and indigo.  I am involved in Occupy Wall street in Moab and have been doing some writing and research.  The more I read and listen the more the Oates quote came to me and seemed appropriate for the times.  As for the dress, my daughter is getting married and my granddaughters told me as mother of the bride, I need a new dress.  And I responded "Ha.  I live in Moab and I am now shaped like an apple, 
 "these are the times  we are the people."
Colleen

I stand corrected – The other was, indeed, Joyce Carol Oates. At least according to “us.” I found all the quotes in the Wedgeblade repository:
BREAKFAST RITUALS (during LENS course)
MONDAY: "THE TASK BEFORE US NOW, IF WE WOULD NOT PERISH, IS TO SHAKE OFF OUR ANCIENT PREJUDICES. AND TO BUILD THE EARTH."
Teilhard de Chardin
TUESDAY: "AT THE EDGE OF HISTORY THE FUTURE IS BLOWING WILDLY IN OUR FACES, SOMETIMES BRIGHTENING THE AIR AND SOMETIMES BLINDING US."
William Irwin Thompson
WEDNESDAY: "WHAT APPEARS TO BE A BREAKING DOWN OF CIVILIZATION MAY WELL BE SIMPLY THE BREAKING UP OF OLD FORMS BY LIFE ITSELF."
Joyce Carol Oates
THURSDAY: "WE HAVE ARRIVED AT AN HISTORICAL VANTAGE POINT. WHERE THE WASTELAND ENDS AND...HUMAN WHOLENESS AND FULFILLMENT BEGINS."
Theodore Roszak
FRIDAY: "MAN ANTICIPATES MORE OR LESS CLEARLY HIS ENTIRE FUTURE AT EVERY MOMENT."
Jose Ortega y Gassett

Dear Colleen,  Leave it to Sunny to find the answer asap!
 
Another place to search for a dress is WomanWithin - womanwithin.com.  They have a lovely dress that is in tiers with elbow length sleeves for $45.00.  Look at it - comes in claret, indigo and chocolate!  Yum!!
 
Great to talk with you last night!  Love, Clare

>does anyone know the correct qote that goes soething like  "What appears to be the breaking up of civiliztion is the emergence of new forms by life itself.  I realize I have the quote somewhat garbled.  It was on one of the posters we hung when doing Town Meetings in the States.  I would also like to know the atribution of the quote.  I asm currently dowing some writng for a local group and that quote seems to be very appropriate to the conversation.
