Quotes from Evolution's Purpose on Beauty, Truth, and Goodness

Both my publisher and my publicist have been telling me that every author needs a robust social media presence.  So after resisting it for a while, I'm starting to use Twitter.  And I'm starting by mining Evolution's Purpose for short quotes of mine that lend themselves to "tweets." Looking through the list of quotable quotes, the ones below on the beautiful, true, and good seemed to stand out.  I'll be posting additional quotes here in the days ahead.

"Beauty, truth, and goodness are actually woven into the fabric of being.  In other words, the aesthetic, the rational, and the moral, constitute essential, irreducible dimensions of human experience that continually come to the forefront whenever we think about the world from philosophical and spiritual perspectives."

"The presence of beauty, truth, and goodness—both actual and potential—is something we can all sense to a greater or lesser degree.  And it is the ubiquitous reality of these values that serve as the "final cause" of the motion of evolution."

"Ultimately, the authentic experience of goodness, truth, or beauty is a spiritual experience, which gives us a taste of unity.  And this fleeting glimpse of unity includes the unity of time in the present moment, wherein future potentials can be palpably felt."

"Beauty, truth, and goodness are actually the comprehensible elements of Deity—the aspects of spirit that we can experience and help create."

"We can perhaps sense how sublime beauty, profound truth, and loving kindness partake of the lingering memory of eternity that remains within the finite universe of time, calling us forward into the future."

"Because values are evolutionary gravitational forces subject to ever-deepening discovery, we must understand them through a dialectical epistemology that does not require them to stand still and behave like objects.  Ultimately, we cannot define values, it is our values that define us."
