I really hate to be Debbie Downer right now, because everyone would love to say, "Yeah, we're finally doing something on climate!

I'm a night owl, and luckily my profession supports that. The best ideas come to me in the dead of night.

I think that the world is in the middle of a huge transition that we have to make to renewable energy. We have to transition away from fossil fuels very, very quickly.

The problem is that everywhere the gas drilling industry goes, a trail of water contamination, air pollution, health concerns and betrayal of basic American civic and community values follows.

Natural gas is a bridge fuel. But it's not a bridge - it's a gangplank. It's either a bridge in space or a bridge in time. The bridge in time we don't need. We have renewable technology right now.

When you're cornered, there are two things you can do: move or fight.

We are letting the extractive energy industries turn the world inside out.

I think 'Gasland' is the doorway for a lot of people to see something happening in their backyard and realize the national and global implications.

I think we're in an era of unprecedented dominance by corporations. I think people understand that deeply; I don't think that's even questioned.

We're not living in a society that science actually dominates the conversation. We're living in a situation where some science is allowed and a lot of it's about policy.

We should be moving vigorously towards renewable energy. The technology of which is right here right now.

Words were sometimes like ammo. They could strike you with fear worse than an arrow. And worse was sometimes knowing ahead a time what the words were.

The eagles ruled the air as the tribes ruled the land.

If a man is to be obsessed by something, I suppose a boat is as good as anything, perhaps a bit better than most.

The world stands out on either side, No wider than the heart is wide.

Contact lenses are for vain, weak-willed piglets who swan around showing off: 'Look everybody, I can see without spectacles. No one at first glance will ever assume I know how to surf the net.'

...the first step in the revolution by the working class, is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle for democracy.

Have I turned into a motorized preacher? We spend so much time in cars that if you don't try to get some experiences out of it, you can go crazy.

Thank you, Wes... You've been a great inspiration. You are like a conductor. You are like a composer... You inspire us, all of us... If it wasn't for you...I couldn't have done it this way.
