“We're at a crucial point in history. We cannot have fast cars, computers the size of credit cards, and modern conveniences, whilst simultaneously having clean air, abundant rainforests, fresh drinking water and a stable climate. This generation can have one or the other but not both. Humanity must make a choice. Both have an opportunity cost. Gadgetry or nature? Pick the wrong one and the next generations may have neither.”
― Mark Boyle, The Moneyless Man: A Year of Freeconomic Living

“We are the prisoners of the mechanical orgy pursued inside the earth, for we have dug mines, underground galleries through which we sneak in a band beneath the cities that we want to blow up.”

― Bernard Lewis, What Went Wrong? The Clash Between Islam & Modernity in the Middle East

“Hunger is the best cook.”
― Carlo Collodi, Pinocchio
