I suspect any worries about genetic engineering may be unnecessary. Genetic mutations have always happened naturally, anyway.

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.

The problem is we don't know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books - mine included - because it looked clear-cut, but it hasn't happened.

Let's make hay while it lasts.

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.

Nature favors those organisms which leave the environment in better shape for their progeny to survive.

The oil companies regard nuclear power as their rival, who will reduce their profits, so they put out a lot of disinformation about nuclear power.

If you start any large theory, such as quantum mechanics, plate tectonics, evolution, it takes about 40 years for mainstream science to come around. Gaia has been going for only 30 years or so.

The tragedy is that what you disapprove of in others is the very thing you disapprove of in yourself.

Fame is an island, and right before the castaway, the getaway of being known without being known.

I've reached the age where bruises are formed from failures within rather than accidents without.

Every flower begins to flourish in spring.

Well you can't win the lottery if you don't have a ticket

That's the really neat thing about Dan Quayle, as you must have realized from the first moment you looked into those lovely blue eyes: impeachment insurance.

Expect wonderful things to happen to you. Get up each morning and say; 'I believe something wonderful is going to happen to me today.'

You may as well quit reading and hearing the Word of God, and give it to the devil, if you do not desire to live according to it.

Being an actor lets me be a million different things.

Thea was still under the belief that public opinion could be placated; that if you clucked often enough, the hens would mistake you for one of themselves.
