To live in accordance with how one thinks. Be yourself and don't try to impose your criteria on the rest. I don't expect others to live like me. I want to respect people's freedom, but I defend my freedom. And that comes with the courage to say what you think, even if sometimes others don't share those views.

My definition of poor are those who need too much. Because those who need too much are never satisfied.

I was no assassin. I got out during the amnesty because I had not committed any violent crimes.

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.

We can almost recycle everything now. If we lived within our means, by being prudent, the 7 billion people in the world could have everything they needed. Global politics should be moving in that direction. But we think as people and countries, not as a species.

If I asked people to live as I live, they would kill me.

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