We are blessed with a magnificent and miraculous world ocean on this planet. But we are also stressing it in ways that we are not even close to bringing under control.

If you're overfishing at the top of the food chain, and acidifying the ocean at the bottom, you're creating a squeeze that could conceivably collapse the whole system.

If you ask the fish whether they'd rather have an oil spill or a season of fishing, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd vote for another blowout.

I am drawn to the wild not because it is wild but because it is sensible, logical, ordered, stable, resilient. Wild nature is everything we're struggling to regain.

To save the seas, we can eat sustainably and be conscious of the seafood we eat.

Whether on'e special emphasis is global warming or child welfare, the cause is the same cause. And justice comes from the same place being human comes from: compassion.

Any honest inquiry into the reality of nature also yields insights about ourselves.

But one doesn't wait for a revolution. One becomes it.

Fishing provides time to think, and reason not to. If you have the virtue of patience, an hour or two of casting alone is plenty of time to review all you’ve learned about the grand themes of life.

Try to cut down drastically on plastic. Recycle. Use less energy and more renewable energy. We can all live better by doing better for ourselves and the sea!

We put the murderer in charge of the crime scene.

Criminals do not die by the hands of the law. They die by the hands of other men.

Doubt is the big machine. It grinds up the delusions of women and men.

I don't follow trends. I make each cake for a particular wedding, or event.

Rather go to bed with out dinner than to rise in debt.

We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events.

If you can't see very far aheadgo ahead as far as you can see.

Thus it is that "Some things are increased by being diminished, others are diminished by being increased." What others have taught, I also teach; verily, I will make it the root of my teaching.

Meditation or religion is a totally different world: it is relaxation, it is let-go - it is not concentration at all. It is not one-pointedness, it is no-pointedness.

Iceland is fascinating; really an amazing place to visit, and great for a film to go there.

We need Jesus every moment of every day. To say anything else is ludicrous.
