I'm not religious, but I put it that way because I feel so strongly. It's the one thing you do not ever do. You've got to have standards.

I have heard that the Saudi Arabians are paying Greenpeace to campaign against Nuclear Power. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

NASA will send up a big sun shade that will be in orbit between the earth and sun and deflect 2 or 3 percent of the sunshine back into space. It would be cheaper than the international space station.

Evolution is a tightly coupled dance, with life and the material environment as partners. From the dance emerges the entity Gaia.

There aren't just bad people that commit genocide; we are all capable of it. It's our evolutionary history.

Perhaps the single most important thing that we can do to undo the harm we have done is to fix firmly in our minds the thought: the earth is alive.

It could all be so simple, but you'd rather make it hard, loving you is like a battle, and we both end up with scars

Patterned after an Italian Renaissance palace, it is 88 times as large and one millionth as valuable to the continuation of man. that Pentagon of traveling salesmen.

I've heard from writers and musicians and fans that they think I'm underrated.

Somehow I had turned myself into the worst thing in the world: I was just another man who wanted to teach me something!

You'd never last in South America. Fans take their radios to the stadium so they can think what the commentators think.

As the senior commander in Vietnam, I was aware of the potency of public opinion - and I worried about it.
