Biological knowledge is doubling every five years.

Biomimicry is … the conscious emulation of life’s genius.

Biomimicry is basically taking a design challenge and then finding an ecosystem that's already solved that challenge, and literally trying to emulate what you learn.

The more our world functions like the natural world, the more likely we are to endure on this home that is ours, but not ours alone.

For businesses, biomimicry is about bringing a new discipline - biology - to the design table. It's not to write an environmental impact statement, as most biologists in business do right now.

The answers to our questions are everywhere; we just need to change the lens with which we see the world.

Everyone is trying to jump on the biomimic bandwagon. But a cork floor is not biomimicry. Neither is using bacteria to clean water.

Life creates conditions conducive to life.

When the forest and the city are functionally indistinguishable, then we know we have reached sustainability.

Men since the beginning of time have sought peace.

I would send back a statement: ‘None.’

What you set your heart upon, surely shall be yours.
