If you look right, you can see the whole world from wherever you happen to be.

If you're overfishing at the top of the food chain, and acidifying the ocean at the bottom, you're creating a squeeze that could conceivably collapse the whole system.

If you ask the fish whether they'd rather have an oil spill or a season of fishing, I wouldn't be surprised if they'd vote for another blowout.

I am drawn to the wild not because it is wild but because it is sensible, logical, ordered, stable, resilient. Wild nature is everything we're struggling to regain.

To save the seas, we can eat sustainably and be conscious of the seafood we eat.

Whether on'e special emphasis is global warming or child welfare, the cause is the same cause. And justice comes from the same place being human comes from: compassion.

Any honest inquiry into the reality of nature also yields insights about ourselves.

We are blessed with a magnificent and miraculous world ocean on this planet. But we are also stressing it in ways that we are not even close to bringing under control.

But one doesn't wait for a revolution. One becomes it.

Fishing provides time to think, and reason not to. If you have the virtue of patience, an hour or two of casting alone is plenty of time to review all you’ve learned about the grand themes of life.

Try to cut down drastically on plastic. Recycle. Use less energy and more renewable energy. We can all live better by doing better for ourselves and the sea!

When I was in my twenties and broke, I'd buy books before food. A meal will sustain you for a few hours, a good book will sustain you for life.

Here! Turn left, I know a short cut through Barons Court."We spend the next twenty minutes mired in roadworks in Barons Court with a bunch of other people who know Edie's short cut.

She had the habit of making up virtuous qualities in a man to support her attraction.

Never admit defeat!

From the viewpoint of a Jesuit priest I am, of course, and have always been an atheist.

I'm ready to do something with Lady Gaga or Andrea Bocelli. I'm really grateful that nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

The Iraq fight itself is probably going to go very, very fast. The shooting should be over within just a very few days from when it starts.

I hope we do not see another Iraq-type operation for a long time - without UN approval and much broader support from the international community.

Words have to be crafted, not sprayed. They need to be fitted together with infinite care.

It becomes increasingly clear that we won’t be free of self-destructive patterns unless we develop a compassionate understanding of what they are.
