“Seen that way, the wholesale transformation of production technologies that is mandated by pollution prevention creates a new surge of economic development.”

What is needed now is a transformation of the major systems of production more profound than even the sweeping post-World War II changes in production technology.

The age of innocent faith in science and technology may be over.

It reflects a prevailing myth that production technology is no more amenable to human judgment or social interests than the laws of thermodynamics, atomic structure or biological inheritance.

No action is without its side effects.

The environmental crisis is a sign that the ecosphere is now so heavily strained that its continued stability is threatened. It is a warning that we must discover the source of this suicidal drive and master it before it destroys the environment-and ourselves.

If you can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you are looking the wrong way.

Nothing ever dies, nothing ever goes away.

The first law of ecology is that everything is related to everything else.—->I dont believe in environmentalism as the solution to anything. What I believe is that environmentalism illuminates the things that need to be done to solve all of the problems together.

Everything is connected to everything else. Everything must go somewhere. Nature knows best. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Finally, since human beings are uniquely capable of producing materials not found in nature, environmental degradation may be due to the resultant intrusion into an ecosystem of a substance wholly foreign to it.

In nature, no organic substance is synthesized unless there is provision for its degradation; recycling is enforced.

Air pollution is not merely a nuisance and a threat to health. It is a reminder that our most celebrated technological achievements-the automobile, the jet plane, the power plant, industry in general, and indeed the modern city itself-are, in the environment, failures.

Science is triumphant with far-ranging success, but its triumph is somehow clouded by growing difficulties in providing for the simple necessities of human life on earth.

The environmental crisis is a global problem, and only global action will resolve it.

If you ask what you are going to do about global warming, the only rational answer is to change the way in which we do transportation, energy production, agriculture and a good deal of manufacturing. The problem originates in human activity in the form of the production of goods.

I see no reason to have my shirts ironed. It’s irrational.

Choice is a determinant in personal development … by my free acts I am making myself.

One time I completely thought I’d turned into a werewolf and was sure I could see hairs sprouting from my face. At those times I’d suddenly go very quiet and not talk to anyone, stunned from the developments, being a werewolf and all.

This is the basis of our developmental law, which, in a nutshell, claims that the diversity of phenomena is a necessary consequence of the accumulation of the results of all individual occurrences happening one after another…

In other words summarise intensely and deeply and keep down the lateral development. It should be a little gem of bright, quick, vivid form

I am learning to be more vulnerable and open on stage. This comes with the development of my acting abilities.

Developments in financial markets can have broad economic effects felt by many outside the markets.

In art there are only fast or slow developments. Essentially it is a matter of evolution, not revolution.

One other thing, if it’s possible, as songwriters, you should also develop yourself as record producers.
