I
think the environment should be put in the category of our national security.
Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what
is there to defend?
Once
you hear the word censorship, you're taking away the people's right to reason
and to think on their own. That's just the beginning of a long road that would
put us in a place that I don't think anybody would want to be.
We’ve
poisoned the air, the water, and the land. In our passion to control nature, things
have gone out of control. Progress from now on has to mean something different.
We’re running out of resources and we are running out of time.
If
we want energy security, then we have to reduce our appetite for fossil fuels.
There's no other way. Other issues may crowd the headlines, but this is our fundamental
challenge. Big challenges require bold action and leadership. To get the United
States off fossil fuels in this uneasy national climate of terrorism and conflict
in the Persian Gulf, we must treat the issue with the urgence and persistance
it deserves. The measure of our success will be the condition on which we leave
the world for the next generation.
I
came to a place where I realized what true value was. It wasn't money. Money is
a means to achieving an end, but it's not the end.
We do not own this place, we are just passengers.
I
can't think of anything outside of having the gift yourself and creating yourself.
I can't think of the next better thing to do than being able to put it back. Creative
expression, I think, is vital to the success of any society. ... A society without
art will die."
