I see myself today as Sitting Bull trying to bring a voice of Easternism, holism, community-based thinking to a very Western culture.

The cycle of life is death, decomposition and regeneration, and a person who wants to stop killing animals is actually anti-life because it's only in death that life can be regenerated.

Don't you find it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who grows their food?

Even if you don't eat at a fast food restaurant, you're now eating food that's produced by this system.

Get in your kitchens, buy unprocessed foods, turn off the TV, and prepare your own foods. This is liberating.

Amazingly, we’ve become a culture that considers Twinkies, Cocoa Puffs, and Mountain Dew safe, but raw milk and compost-grown tomatoes unsafe.

You, as a food buyer, have the distinct privilege of proactively participating in shaping the world your children will inherit.

If every American for one week refused to eat at a fast-food joint, it would bring concentrated animal feeding operations to their knees.

The average person is still under the aberrant delusion that food should be somebody else's responsibility until I'm ready to eat it.

If you think the price of organic food is expensive, have you priced cancer lately.

If you have to put on a haz-mat suit to visit a farm, you may not want to eat what comes from it.

Your thoughts are transparent.

Women hear rhythm differently than men.

I trust that the president will try, just give it one more shot, some revolutionary way of not doing this, of bringing all those kids back home safely.

You cannot be born and you cannot die. You will exist in a universe that goes on forever. That is the ultimate horror from the Zen point of view. You could be unhappy forever.

If the splitter of hairs has a sharp enough knife, the fact of life itself can be chopped into nothing.

Military missions are not democratic development aid.

A photographer is like a writer... you're writing with your lens so make sure you tell a good story.

Man, be he who he may, experiences a last piece of good fortune and a last day. [Ger., Der Mensch erfahrt, er sei auch wer er mag, Ein letztes Gluck und einen letzten Tag.]

I will try to make a doll of Oksana with a little dog.

Hangs in the uncertain balance of proud time.
