“The most alarming of all man's assaults upon the environment is the contamination of air, earth, rivers, and sea with dangerous and even lethal materials. This pollution is for the most part irrecoverable; the chain of evil it initiates not only in the world that must support life but in living tissues is for the most part irreversible. In this now universal contamination of the environment, chemicals are the sinister and little-recognized partners of radiation in changing the very nature of the world-the very nature of its life.” MenWorldLittlesEarthEvilNatureSupportEnvironmentAirSeaDangerousMaterialsRiversUniversalEnvironmentalPartnersChainsChemicalsRadiationPollutionEcologyAssaultTissuesSinisterInitiateIrreversibleSilent SpringContaminationEnvironmental Pollution Book:Silent Spring Source: Silent Spring

“The ability of human beings to be creative depends fundamentally on the health and well-being of our biosphere, the few kilometres of air, water, and soil that surround our planet like the skin of an apple. Quite simply, they are the physical and spiritual bases of our lives, and the only source of materials and tools.” HumansWellsEarthSpiritualWaterHuman BeingsAbilityCreativeOur LivesAirPlanetsMaterialsSourceDependsToolsSkinsBasesWell BeingApplesSoilSurroundBe CreativeOur PlanetBiosphere Author:Freeman Patterson
“I believe that during the intervention of NATO in Kosovo there is an element nobody can question: the air attacks, the bombs, are not caused by a material interest. Their character is exclusively humanitarian: What is at stake here are the principles, human rights which have priority above state sovereignty. This makes it legitimate to attack the Yugoslav Federation, although without the United Nations mandate.” BelieveHumansStatesCharacterI BelieveNationsInterestUnitedPrinciplesRightsAirMaterialsElementsHuman RightsHumanitarianPrioritiesBombsStakesSovereigntyUnited NationsInterventionMandatesNatoFederationKosovo Author:Vaclav Havel

“It is really sad for the new artists. Where's the next Elvis, where's the next Beatles, where's the Zeppelin? They're out there but they don't have a chance because once upon a time we [musicians of the 60s] had record companies, and they would support you and have point of purchase material and they would give you advances. In other words, they gave you the air to breathe to find yourself and spend the time to learn how to run.” GivingRunningArtistNextChanceCompanySupportRecordsAirMaterialsMusicianBreatheFinding YourselfOnce Upon A TimeRecord CompaniesSupport YouZeppelinsReally SadNew Artists Author:Gene Simmons
“This generation has altered the composition of the atmosphere on a global scale through radioactive materials and a steady increase in carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels. Entire regional airsheds, crop plant environments, and river basins are heavy with noxious materials. Motor vehicles and home heating plants, municipal dumps and factories continually hurl pollutants into the air we breathe. Each day almost 50,000 tons of unpleasant, and sometimes poisonous, sulfur dioxide are added to the atmosphere, and our automobiles produce almost 300,000 tons of other pollutants.” SometimesHomeEnvironmentGenerationsAirProduceMaterialsRiversIncreasePlantClimate ChangeHeavyBreatheScalesBurningAtmosphereFuelEach DaySteadyFactoriesVehicleCompositionCarbonFossilsMotorCropsAutomobileAlteredFossil FuelDumpPoisonousThis GenerationCarbon DioxideHeatingSulfurMotor Vehicles Author:Lyndon B.

“It may be that the invention of the aeroplane flying-machine will be deemed to have been of less material value to the world than the discovery of Bessemer and open-hearth steel, or the perfection of the telegraph, or the introduction of new and more scientific methods in the management of our great industrial works. To us, however, the conquest of the air, to use a hackneyed phrase, is a technical triumph so dramatic and so amazing that it overshadows in importance every feat that the inventor has accomplished.” WorldMayHas BeensUseValuesAirMaterialsDiscoveryPerfectionMachinesImportanceManagementMethodFlyingInventionFlightTriumphDramaticPhrasesAccomplishedAviationSteelConquestIntroductionInventorAeroplanesFeatsScientific MethodTelegraphFlying Machines Author:Waldemar Kaempffert
“And ultimately, it's good for all of us to have more original programming on the air. Business doesn't drive the creative. So, in identifying a project like Dovekeepers, looking at something like Extant and looking at Under the Dome, it was about falling in love with a piece of material, getting excited by the creative direction, hearing a vision, and getting excited about the potential for those projects and building the business model around it. And they're not all modeled the same way. Every one is different.” WayDifferentFallVisionCreativePiecesAirBuildingMaterialsProjectsModelsOriginalsFalling In LoveExcitedHearingProgrammingIdentifyingBusiness ModelsDomes Author:Nina Tassler
“If you repeat something enough it can literally physically change the air particles around you and it can infuse the air with this sacred sound vibration, or it can change your material body, like transform your flesh to spirit.

“When we were kids, you picked up a little paper and put it on a stick; and when you waved it back and forth, you understood the power of air underneath the wings. In that way, a child begins to understand abstraction, poetry, metaphor, symbolism. You play with the materials you have and use your imagination to make them into something else. That what's so sad about having everything on a little screen - it's not physical and dimensional, and that seems backward.” WayChildrenLittlesPlayUseSeemsKidsImaginationAirMaterialsPaperUnderstoodWingsSticksMetaphorScreensAbstractionBack And ForthSymbolismSo Sad Author:Julie Taymor
