Mohamed ElBaradei
“When you have half of Caironese in slums, when you don't have clean water, when you don't have a sewer system, when you don't have electricity, and on top of that you live under one of the most repressive regimes right now... Well, put all that together, and it's a ticking bomb. It's not of a question of threat; it is question of looking around at the present environment and making a rational prognosis.”
― Mohamed ElBaradei

“Brothers and sisters,’ said the man. ‘I want to tell you this. The greatest thing on earth is to have the love of God in your heart, and the next greatest thing is to have electricity in your house.’

This was the early 1940s. The man was a farmer, speaking at a church in rural Tennessee. His farm had been electrified not long before and he was occasionally seen out there, sitting on a knoll, gazing in wonder at the lights blazing out from his house, his barn and his smokehouse.”
― Ed Conway, Material World: The Six Raw Materials That Shape Modern Civilization
