Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

More quotes by Larry Harvey

What we have to do is make progress in the quality of connection between people, not the quantity of consumption.

We don’t think the world can be Woodstock … Who’d think the world could be a perpetual carnival?

I elevated passions into duties. (p.s. That's not enough…)

The essence of the desert is that you are free to create your own world, your own visionary reality. … Both Burning Man and the Internet make it possible to regather the tribe of mankind.

Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.
