There aren't enough good journalists. There are too many who really weren't groomed to be reporters and, as a result, some of the reporting is shallow.

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.

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.

I'm a war of head versus heart, it's always this way. My head is weak, my heart always speaks, before I know what it will say.

It's too easy to say this or that is "race," and that has been a vehicle for an incredible amount of wrong in the world.

Let's take care of the little things while they're still little.

He who steals a hook shall be hanged; while he who steals the state shall be crowned as prince.

Reason and intellect are opening wedges in an understanding of reality.

It is comforting to think that we can love so powerfully that fate itself wheels and turns at the command of our souls.

What's good about March? Well, for one thing, it keeps February and April apart.
