When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

If you really want to define civilization it should be a culture that doesn't destroy its environment. If you burn down the kitchen one day and expect to eat the next, it is not even intelligent, let alone civilized.

Let your soul be your pilot.

If I were a Brazilian without land or money or the means to feed my children, I would be burning the rain forest too.

Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away, history will teach us nothing.

I want to get old gracefully. I want to have good posture, I want to be healthy and be an example to my children.

I realize that nothing's as it seems.
