I personally like the idea of shellfish aquaculture. These are animals that stay quiet, they stay where you put them, and they clean up the water.

We transform the world, but we don't remember it. We adjust our baseline to the new level, and we don't recall what was there.

Eating a tuna roll at a sushi restaurant should be considered no more environmentally benign than driving a Hummer or harpooning a manatee.

Tilapia have often been represented as the aquatic chicken, and it's perfectly justified.

If we don't manage this resource, we will be left with a diet of jellyfish and plankton stew.

An animal that is very abundant, before it gets extinct, it becomes rare. So you don't lose abundant animals. You always lose rare animals. Therefore, they're not perceived as a big loss.

The crisis of the fisheries is similar to our economy. This is not one fishery failing, but the whole system.

People don't know the past, even though we live in literate societies, because they don't trust the sources of the past.

We suggest that in the next decades fisheries management will have to emphasize the rebuilding of fish populations embedded within functional food webs, within large 'no-take' marine protected areas.

If you think of having a family as being loved as a child, cared for - I did not experience that.

Poets are Damned... but See with the Eyes of Angels.

Tell me you love me. Tell me you love me and will fight with me.

Persistence is a necessary ingredient for success.

Zen is discipline - the discipline of living life, the discipline of taking a breath, the discipline of not knowing and not trying to know.

IKEA is not completely perfect. It irritates me to hear it said that IKEA is the best company in the world. We are going the right way to becoming it but we are not there yet.

Be still. Stillness reveals the secrets of eternity

I love everything about fashion. I even love the fittings and watching it evolve from a pattern to a muslin to the final product.

For as laws are necessary that good manners be preserved, so there is need of good manners that law may be maintained.

The potential for the saxophone is unlimited.

I hate seeing people getting hurt or hurting other people. I hate seeing blood. I am very intolerant of physical pain. I find violence horrifying, so much so that I can't help being intrigued by it.
