“So here we are in a country with more wheat and corn and more money in the bank, more cotton, more everything in the world-there's not a product that you can name that we haven't got more of than any other country ever had on the face of the earth-and yet we've got people starving. We'll hold the distinction of being the only nation in the history of the world that ever went to the poor house in an automobile.” PeopleWorldCountryEarthFacesHouseNamesNationsPoorHavensProductsDistinctionMore MoneyOther CountriesConsumerismWorld HistoryStarvingCornAutomobileWheatCottonOverconsumption Author:Will Rogers
“The space that we're looking through is nine-dimensional. If you build a mathematical model, the amount of searching that we've done in 50 years is equivalent to scooping one 8-ounce glass out of the Earth's ocean, looking and seeing if you caught a fish. No, no fish in that glass? Well, I don't think you're going to conclude that there are no fish in the ocean. You just haven't searched very well yet.

“The short answer to 'Why do you write' is - I suppose I write for some of the same reasons I read: to live a double life; to go places I haven't been; to examine life on earth; to come to know people in ways, and at depths, that are otherwise impossible; to be surprised.” PeopleKnowsWayWritingReasonEarthAnswersImpossibleHavensDepthDouble Life Author:Margaret Atwood
“Most of the earth's inhabitants work to get by. They work because they have to. They didn't pick this or that kind of job out of passion; the circumstances of their lives did the choosing for them. Loveless work, boring work, work valued only because others haven't got even that much, however loveless and boring - this is one of the harshest human miseries.

“The God who inspired the Bible is the same God who made the universe, Earth, and all life. This God is the very definition of truth; therefore nature's record will never contradict Scripture and vice versa. When a seeming contradiction confronts us, we can know with certainty we have either misunderstood (one, the other, or both revelations) or perhaps we haven't yet dug deploy enough. Whatever the case, we can embrace the opportunity to gain greater knowledge and appreciation for the Bible, for nature, and for the God who is responsible for both.” KnowsMadeEnoughEarthUniverseOpportunityCasesRecordsGreaterHavensGainsResponsibleEmbraceInspiredDefinitionsVicesAppreciationScriptureCertaintyRevelationsContradictionMisunderstoodVice VersaSeeming Author:Hugh Ross
“All the things that we've done as a species have had a limited scope. We're talking about melting the ice caps, raising the level of the seas dramatically, changing the distribution of every other species on Earth, perhaps wiping out one-third or half of them. The changes at work are geologic in scale. The level of change required to deal with it is enormous, too. It will require change in every country. It will require a degree of global cooperation that we haven't seen before.” CountryDoneEarthLevelsDealsHalfTalkingSeaHavensDegreesThirdsSpeciesScalesEnormousIceCooperationDistributionScopeCapsMeltingWiping Out Author:Bill McKibben
