1. Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky aswell as the earth. ~Henry David Thoreau“Hey! What do we expect from a transcendentalist? Making off-the-record remarks about ‘flying’, and ‘sky’doesn’t cut the fact that ‘civil disobedience’ is not any more lenient than laying waste in the biosphere or theatmosphere. But a reference to the Supreme Being cloaks any chance of suspicion from other literary critics.”

But let us not forget that technology is ontologically good and evil; that depends on how the humanbeing uses it. The root of all evil is the human mind.”

3. Don't blow it - good planets are hard to find. ~Quoted in Time“Well, I agree that the Earth is a good planet; but whoever found it must have a monument erected in hishonor.”

the chances of stepping back to see the bigger picture of things and think things over before launching a soundattack.”
