“Most people have no idea how good their body is designed to feel.”

“Here is how you know someone has had a good idea: Other people freely admit to their friends that said idea has changed their lives. Most people today will grant that fire and the wheel are the big two. After that, any attempts to rank the greatest ideas of all time are going to draw lots of argument. You’ll have zealots pimping this god or that on the one hand, scientists pimping Darwin on the other, and then practical people pointing at written language and saying, look, fellas, the reason those ideas have gone viral is because someone figured out how to write them down.”

“Sustainability is now a big baggy sack in which people throw all kinds of old ideas, hot air and dodgy activities in order to be able to greenwash their products and feel good.”

“The past is to be respected and acknowledged, but not worshipped; it is our future in which we will find our greatness.”

“I've been trying for some time to develop a lifestyle that doesn't require my presence.”

“The best thing you can possibly do for a friend is to be his friend.”

“I want to be more than a rose in my husband's lapel.”
