We live in a world where if you're white, an upper-class male of extreme privilege, and able-bodied, and you're nothing that takes you away from that norm, then you're going to have - then the world will not assign you problems because of what you are. That is actually the world we live in.
I don't believe I could live in Iran again. A tree, once uprooted from the earth, is very difficult to plant again.
Ruminants are a perfectly normal thing to possess when you live in upstate New York. It's just moving scenery. It's kind of like the equivalent of Great Danes. It's the way you keep your grass mowed. It's the way you keep your weed-whacking to a minimum.
We live in a time-crunched world, and just about everything we do seems to be urgent.
Way down deep, we're all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them.
We live in a world bathed in 5,000 times more energy than we consume as a species in the year, in the form of solar energy. It's just not in usable form yet.
New York, like the Soviet Union, has this universal usefulness: It makes you glad you live elsewhere.

At the end of the film Val suggests there may be a way to rejoin the living, when he says, 'Let's see if we're able to live among the living, walk among the living.'
We live in a culture that doesn't acknowledge or validate human intuition and doesn't encourage us to rely on our intuitive wisdom.
We live in a time when science is validating what humans have known throughout the ages: that compassion is not a luxury; it is a necessity for our well-being, resilience, and survival.
Life is like a landscape. You live in the midst of it but can describe it only from the vantage point of distance.
We all live with blinders on. They come with having a personal vantage point.
We can self-censor ourselves for various reasons, but we can't live in a world where some person or some group decides what's offensive and what's not.
The world we live in is vastly different from the world we think we live in.
I became a vegetarian out of compassion for animals and to live as healthy as possible. I realized soon after that I was truly concerned with nonviolent consumption and my own health, a vegan diet was the best decision.
It is all very well for 2% of the population to live in a monastic state of meatlessness while everyone else gorges their way towards environmental meltdown or the nearest heart clinic. Vegetarianism is good for the willing minority, but not much use as a campaign tool.
