I'm worried about the traditional media, but I think the new media is a plus for democracy.

Behind every successful man there's a lot of unsuccessful years.

I am aware that one should always make room for renewal in politics. A democracy is the healthier for the turnover of the depth of talent there is in its community.

Exxon, Coca-Cola, BHP Billiton and News Corporation have much more say in organising the global agenda than the planet's 5 billion mature-age voters without a ballot box.

We are all born bonded to nature; that's why we put depictions of flowers and forests, rather than bulldozers or log piles, on our walls.

The future will either be green or not at all.

I didn't want to be a shock absorber; I wanted to deliver the shock.

There are better alternatives... Australia should be exporting its solar technology, not its uranium.

In securing the future of the planet, we secure happiness for ourselves. One of the aims of the Greens is to turn around the tide of pessimism amongst the young people of the world.

The Greens will continue to champion a fairer society rather than simply the economy and to champion the parliament rather than simply the stock exchange .

Globally the Greens have arisen like a spontaneous combustion, a reaction to the narrow-minded state-backed exploitation of resources and wealth for a few at the expense of the many.

When something seems wrong in your life, the only way to have resolution with it is to let it go. Trying to make it right keeps it wrong.

Love is an attraction but not a reaction.

There are monsters among us. I mean this quite literally.

This is my life's work. It is a user's manual to the human being, a parenting book ... and how to be the best you can be.

She has passed information to you. Figures names and facts. You have learnt nothing very much. But you have a splendid memory. It will help you when you start to learn.

The character of good men and women encourage others to want to be better people.

Motivation is a lotta crap.

Laughter - that is something very sacred especially for us Indians.

If all be a Dream, then he doth but dream that he makes the Question; and so it is not much matter that a waking Man should answer him.

What if man were required to educate his children without the help of talking animals.
