"Spend now and someone else will pay later."”

Tolerance is a learned trait, like riding a bike or playing the piano. Those of us who actually live among children, who see them in their natural environment, know the truth: Left to their own devices, children will gang up on and abuse anyone who is even slightly different from the norm.”

The waste of one organism becomes food for another and everything's recycled in an ecological system whereas in our human built environment there's a throughput system.

We have to imitate nature and try to re-use everything we make as human beings or recycle them - when we cannot re-use or recycle them we should try to reintegrate them back into the natural environment.”
