What has dawned on me is that focusing on the "finite planet" frame sends a message that we have gone as far as Nature can take us and therefore we need to give power to forces outside Nature.

The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.

The real cause of hunger is the powerlessness of the poor to gain access to the resources they need to feed themselves.

Every aspect of our lives is, in a sense, a vote for the kind of world we want to live in.

Hunger is a people-made phenomenon, so the central issue is power: the power of those who make the decisions about what is grown and who, or what, it's grown for.

Hunger is not caused by a scarcity of food but a scarcity of democracy.

Our heavily meat-centered culture is at the very heart of our waste of the earth's productivity.

Hope is a stance, not an assessment.

Every choice we make can be a celebration of the world we want.

[O]ur greatest contributions to the cause of freedom and development overseas is not what we do over there, but what we do right here at home.

Hope is not what we find in evidence, it's what we become in action.

Like a sculptor, if necessary, carve a friend out of stone.Realize that your inner sight is blindand try to see a treasure in everyone.

And bear about the mockery of woe To midnight dances and the public show.

The stubby French painter Toulouse-Lautrec supposedly invented chocolate mousse - I find that rather hard to believe, but there you have it.

Whatever the nature of dance, it needs no onlooker, not even a single witness.

Pity and friendship seek different habitations.

Connecting with Canadians isn't about what you say, it's about what you're listening to. It's about what you understand.

There's a spark in you you've just gotta ignite the light and let it SHINE.

The simplest and most familiar truth seems new and wonderful the instant we ourselves experience it for the first time.

I'm a descendant of someone bought and sold, and brought in 1619 in what was to become the United States.

If there is a conflict in your mind between what you know and what you are seeing, paint what you see because if you don't, the result will look like something that isn't there.
