No architect should design buildings that import a huge amount of energy.

Quite frankly, there is no answer to climate change without substantially, dramatically, increasing the amount of renewable energy in the global energy system.

We cannot ask others to do what we have not done ourselves.

It's no fun losing a tooth or getting your face whacked by a stick.

It needs brains to be a real fool.

Two things are necessary, the development of individuality and the participation of the individual in a truly social life.

Make sure you pay attention to what's right with your life, not just what's wrong.

We try to do what's right, or rather what other say is right. But sometimes, when that goes against who we are...you have to choose.
