I think the ideal way of living is to live like the vast majority of people whom we attempt to serve and represent.

It seems that we have been born only to consume and to consume, and when we can no longer consume, we have a feeling of frustration, and we suffer from poverty, and we are auto-marginalized.

I may appear to be an eccentric old man... But this is a free choice.

Worse that drugs is drug trafficking. Much worse. Drugs are a disease, and I don't think that there are good drugs or that marijuana is good. Nor cigarettes. No addiction is good. I include alcohol. The only good addiction is love. Forget everything else.

Does this planet have enough resources so seven or eight billion can have the same level of consumption and waste that today is seen in rich societies? It is this level of hyper-consumption that is harming our planet.

In life you can fall down 1000 times but the point is to have the willingness to stand up and to start again.

There are people who say that you can't experiment... That condemns you to failure.
