The Stone Age did not end because humans ran out of stones. It ended because it was time for a re-think about how we live.

To eliminate the concept of waste means to design things-products, packaging, and systems-from the very beginning on the understanding that waste does not exist.

Designing renders visible our hopes and dreams. It is the first signal of human intentions.

Waste equals food, whether it's food for the earth, or for a closed industrial cycle. We manufacture products that go from cradle to grave. We want to manufacture them from cradle to cradle.

If anybody here has trouble with the concept of design humility, reflect on this: It took us 5,000 years to put wheels on our luggage.

In the end, the question is not, how do we use nature to serve our interests? It's how can we use humans to serve nature's interest?'

Here's where redesign begins in earnest, where we stop trying to be less bad and we start figuring out how to be good.

Our goal is a delightfully diverse, safe, healthy, and just world, with clean air, water, soil and power – economically, equitably, ecologically and elegantly enjoyed.

The surest way to heal an eco-system is to connect it to more of itself.

If we think about things having multiple lives, cradle to cradle, we could design things that can go back to either nature or back to industry forever.

Sustainability takes forever. And that's the point.

Baseball is to our everyday experience what poetry often is to common speech — a slightly elevated and concentrated form.

We want to live and love and build a just and peaceful society.

Sundays kill more people than bombs.

The sign stopped me-- or rather, this text stopped me. Words are my profession; I seized these and demanded that they explain themselves, that they cease to be ambiguous.

Art is a universal language and through it each nation makes its own unique contribution to the culture of mankind.

The laws of chess do not permit a free choice: you have to move whether you like it or not.

I'm not a cineaste. I've made so few films. Sometimes it feels each one is the last one or the first one.

I know that great gifts come at a price, and that not all talent inspires admiration.

It doesn't matter that I play football. Anybody can make a difference in life.
