In order not to be misunderstood, I want it perfectly clear that I believe it is incumbent on us to conduct our lives in a way that takes into account all the consequences of our actions, including the consequences to other people, and the consequences to the environment.

Praise not the day until evening has come, a woman until she is burnt, a sword until it is tried, a maiden until she is married, ice until it has been crossed, beer until it has been drunk.

No man is so good as to be free from all evil, nor so bad as to be worth nothing.

The nasty little apes that call themselves human beings can do nothing except run and hide.

We need to get environmentalism out of the sphere of religion. We need to stop the mythic fantasies, and we need to stop the doomsday predictions. We need to start doing hard science instead.

We think we know what we are doing. We have always thought so.

Nobody is driven by abstractions like 'seeking truth.
