“As this poster makes abundantly clear, we've already consumed about half of the world's total endowment of regular conventional oil. This has provided most supply to-date and will dominate all supply far into the future. We are now entering the second half of the Oil Age, and face the relentless decline of production, imposed by nature.”
“Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good things toward you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as others. Do not strain after the needs of life. It is sufficient to be quietly alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more naturally and effortlessly. Life is here to Enjoy!”
“Mother Nature did not cooperate with us at all; we had four major hurricanes and four evacuations. The last hurricane literally put the entire base under two feet of water. There were employees who lost just about everything, but they've managed to get back together to where we are today.”
“To choose a hardship for ourselves is our only defense against that hardship. This is what is meant by accepting suffering. Those who, by their very nature, can suffer completely, utterly, have an advantage. That is how we can disarm the power of suffering, make it our own creation, our own choice; submit to it. A justification for suicide.”
“When you design materials at the atomic scale you get properties you wouldn't get otherwise. You get exact properties that you want instead of what nature dishes out for you. This means you can do things with a material that you couldn't imagine doing before with the same material.”
“The title of the 'pilot episode' is 'The Nature of Balance.' So, there is sort of a metaphysical story going on at the same time. There's also politics and intrigue involving one of the passengers on the plane and there are people who when they discover what has happened to Nicholas Dane, they don't want him to have the memories, talents and unfinished business of the passengers.”
“Native Americans never took a stance; we've always respected the earth. Anytime we do something that will affect nature, we ask ourselves, how will this affect seven generations? The earth is our mother, the sky is our father, and everything in between is our brothers and sisters. Everybody deserves respect and the right to be listened to.”
“Activities have all been a hit in the past. Depending on the weather, it could be a nice, enjoyable stroll through the cabin nature trails. Or if the weather is like last year's, we had a fun but sloppy time. Participants were sliding all over, falling down in the mud enjoying themselves. Everyone had a thrill!”
“With Iron Mountain's PC backup services, photographers can rest assured their photos and images are always protected and available, no matter what. The set-it-and-forget-it nature of our online backup service means you never have to remember to make a second copy -- that's the best kind of backup you can imagine.”
“It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.”
