I had the realization that hunger is not caused by scarcity of food, it is caused by the production system and an absence of democracy throughout the world.

For me hope isn't wishful thinking or blind faith about the future. It's a stance toward life - one of curiosity and humility.

Even the fear of death is nothing compared to the fear of not having lived authentically and fully.

[Fear] means that we are human beings walking into the unknown, and that we are risking breaking with others for something we believe in.

The good life for me always meant connecting with those big, important issues that grown-ups get so excited about.

Freedom is not the capacity to do whatever we please; freedom is the capacity to make intelligent choices.

When we say we have "hit the limits," we are saying that nature is the problem, when in fact the limits we have hit are the limits of destruction and waste, not nature.
