“You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. Some terrible robot toys from Japan that changed from one thing to another. The Japanese have funded a full-length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer-space stuff. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen.” KnowsPlayStuffVoiceSpaceMorningPlansOne ThingChangedTearsPlanetsTerribleScreensDestroyedHaving FunJapanLengthToysCartoonRobotsAnimatedMenaceOuter SpaceDoings Author:Orson Welles
“The universe is a vast system of exchange. Every artery of it is in motion, throbbing with reciprocity, from the planet to the rotting leaf. The vapor climbs the sunbeam, and comes back in blessings upon the exhausted herb. The exhalation of the plant is wafted to the ocean. And so goes on the beautiful commerce of nature. And all because of dissimilarity--because no one thing is sufficient in itself, but calls for the assistance of something else, and repays by a contribution in turn.” BeautifulTurnsUniverseOne ThingPlanetsGoes OnBlessingOceanPlantSufficientContributionClimbsCommerceExhaustedLeafsAssistanceHerbsReciprocityRottingVaporArteriesSunbeams Author:Edwin Hubbel Chapin

“So is there a difference between Democrats and Republicans? Sure. The Democrats say one thing ("Save the planet!") and then do another--quietly holding hands behind the scenes with the bastards who make this world a dirtier, meaner place. The Republicans just come right out and give the bastards a corner office in the West Wing. That's the difference.” WorldGivingHandsDifferencesBehindsOne ThingThis WorldPlanetsRepublicanSceneOfficeWingsWestDemocratCornersBehind The ScenesHolding HandsSave The Planet Author:Michael Moore
“You won't be reading reviews of the dystopian sci-fi flick Aeon Flux in the papers today because it wasn't screened for the press-and, given that it cost the GDP of a small country and that Charlize Theron and the director, Karyn Kusama, are critics' darlings, this could mean but one thing: A stinker.
