“Based on first-hand evidence of your own senses - the improved health and later ages at which acquaintances die nowadays as compared with the past; the material goods that we now possess; the speed at which information, entertainment, and we ourselves move freely throughout the world - it seems to me that a person must be literally deaf and blind not to perceive that humanity is in a much better state than ever before.” WorldFirstsPersonsStatesHandsSeemsAgePastMovingHumanityDiesInformationMaterialsEvidenceBlindEntertainmentSpeedSensesPerceiveGoodsDeafAcquaintanceDeaf And Blind Author:Julian Simon
“We live in a world defined by its boundaries: You cannot travel faster than the speed of light. You must and will die. You cannot escape these boundaries. But the miracle and hope of human consciousness is that we can still conceive of boundlessness.” WorldHumansStillsLightDiesConsciousnessMiracleSpeedBoundariesDefinedFasterHuman ConsciousnessSpeed Of Light Book:This Star Won't Go Out: The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl Source: This Star Won't Go Out: The Life and Words of Esther Grace Earl
“I think, on both sides of the camera or the novel: Distraction. I'm obsessed with: Can I get this actress or my third act to work? I'm distracted. I'm interested in that so I don't sit home and think, "Gee, life is meaningless. We're all going to die. The universe is pulling apart at breakneck speed."” ThinkingHomeLife IsDiesUniverseSidesNovelThirdsCamerasSpeedActressesObsessedDistractionMeaninglessPullingBoth SidesDistracted Author:Woody Allen
“There are some things in the world we can't change- gravity, entropy, the speed of light, and our biological nature that requires clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean energy and biodiversity for our health and well-being. Protecting the biosphere should be our highest priority or else we sicken and die. Other things, like capitalism, free enterprise, the economy, currency, the market, are not forces of nature, we invented them. They are not immutable and we can change them. It makes no sense to elevate economics above the biosphere.” WorldShouldWellsLightDiesEnergyForceWaterEconomyAirHighestCapitalismEconomicsCleanSpeedPrioritiesWell BeingSoilEnterpriseGravityCurrencyCan't ChangeEnvironmentalistFree EnterpriseBiodiversityEntropyForces Of NatureClean EnergyClean WaterSpeed Of LightBiosphereClean Air Author:David Suzuki
