People always underestimate the impact of technology. To give you an example: In the 1970s the frontier for offshore development was 200 meters, today it is 4,000 meters.

The starting point for energy security today as it has always been is diversification of supplies and sources.

The bulk of extra supplies that could be put into the market come from two places. One, they come from other Persian Gulf suppliers, of which Saudi Arabia is at the top of the list.

We are living in a new age of energy supply anxiety.

Cycles of shortage and surplus characterize the entire history of oil.

We experienced similiar fears in the 1880s, at the end of World War I and II. And we ran out in the 1970s.

So the major obstacle to the development of new supplies is not geology but what happens above ground: international affairs, politics, investment and technology.

To meet the energy challenge requires the most important energy of all - human creativity. That's the real prize.

A premium in the oil price of somewhere between 10 to 15 dollars a barrel reflects this heightened anxiety.

But eventually it's a question of access: Getting access to fields is on top of the oil companies' agenda. We see a substantial build-up of supply occurring over the coming years.

Even Silicon Valley investors have put well over a $1 billion in new energy technologies.

A good book is not the same as a successful one.

I love you, Kane. Now let's go begin our always.

Murdered by a kind of fear that seeks to obliterate any evidence that the world is different from the way they want to see it, from the way they want to believe it to be.

Life is being, not having.

I'm a former mayor. I know that being a cop is not an easy job. But when police officers misbehave, they've got to be held accountable.

Let no one trust so entirely to natural prudence as to persuade himself that it will suffice to guide him without help from experience.

And if Sam considered himself lucky, Frodo knew he was more lucky himself; for there was not a hobbit in the Shire that was looked after with such care.

If Athens shall appear great to you, consider then that her glories were purchased by valiant men, and by men who learned their duty.

Slow and steady wins the race, then wastes no time grinding salt-caked glass in your open wounds.

What is an ending? There's no such thing. Death is the only ending.
