Werner Erhard and Peter Block

"Let me make each room I am in at the moment an example of the destination."

Peter Block

"Heros are ordinary men and women who dare to see and meet the call of a possibility bigger than themselves. Breakthroughs are created by such heros, by men and women who will stand for the result while it is only a possibility—
people who will act to make possibility real."

Werner Erhard
