If I could go back to a point in history to try to get things to come out differently, I would go back and tell moses to go up the mountain again and get the other tablet. Because the Ten Commandments just tell us what we are supped to do with one another, not a word about our relationship to the earth. Genesis starts with these commands: multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it. We have multiplied very well, we have replenished our populations very well, we have subdued it all too well, and we don't have any other instruction.

A great deal of pressure was then built up to remove me from the club and my resignation was, finally, a forced one.

Bring diversity back to agriculture. That's what made it work in the first place.

Until four years ago, in fact, I was absolutely in love with the atom.

It seems that every time mankind is given a lot of energy, we go out and wreck something with it.

Truth and beauty can still win battles. We need more art, more passion, more wit in defense of the Earth.
