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

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.

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.

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.

We have to learn to live in peace with each other

For one last time, I said my goodbyes to the place I’d known as home for the last decade, and for the first time, I welcomed the unknown.

I want to take time to understand life. I want to travel. I want to be a better person, a better Mom. I want to do something good with my life.

Don't worry about the future.

Changes call for innovation, and innovation leads to progress.

We should put more money in health. We should put more money in devising credible social safety nets for the poor.

Once children learn how to learn, nothing is going to narrow their mind. The essence of teaching is to make learning contagious, to have one idea spark another.

I'm not Mother Teresa, but I'm not Charles Manson, either.

Any artist will tell you that when they get negative criticism of their work, it's personally hurtful to them.

I don't have a very logical and orderly mind.
