We are not a green standard, we are a quality standard. We're different, we're multi dimensional.

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.

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

Maybe, long ago, we used to be good. Maybe all little girls are good in the beginning.

Our task is not to liberate the oppressed, but to liberate the oppressors

Duty, then is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more; you should never wish to do less.

I'm an Episcopal, which is Catholic Lite. It's like same religion, half the guilt.

Leeds are enjoying more possession now that they have the ball.
