You can't conserve what you haven't got.

The miracle of light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slowly moving, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades. It is a river of grass.

There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have always been, one of the unique regions of the earth; remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them.

They are unique in the simplicity, the diversity, the related harmony of the forms of life that they enclose.

No one is satisfied with their life's work.

Since 1972, I've been going around making speeches on the Everglades.

It's a little bit late in the day for men to object that women are getting outside their proper sphere.

No matter how poor my eyes are I can still talk.

The wealth of south Florida, but even more important, the meaning and significance of south Florida lies in the black muck of the Everglades and the inevitable development of this country to be the great tropic agricultural center of the world.

I take advantage of every thing I can - age, hair, disability - because my cause is just.

I'll talk about the Everglades at the drop of a hat.

I'm just a tough old woman.

To be a friend of the Everglades is not necessarily to spend time wandering around out there.

I feel greatly at fault in not having made a loud public protest about Belle Glade before this.

You have to stand up for some things in this world.

I wanted to go to a good college, and my mind was set on Wellesley.

There is always the need to carry on.

Conservation is now a dead word.

Child welfare ought really to cover all sorts of topics, such as better water and sanitation and good roads, and clean streets and public parks and playgrounds.

The problem of the environment is the extension of good housekeeping of the thinking woman.

All we need, really, is a change from a near frigid to a tropical attitude of mind.

Sometimes, I tell them more than they wanted to know.

You can't conserve what you haven't got.

Whoever wants me to talk, I'll come over and tell them about the necessity of preserving the Everglades.

I certainly hated actors and, more importantly, they hated me.

In certain strains of Judaism, there's a profound passion for the ineffable. Contemplation of God is meant to be forever elusive, because, you know, our tiny minds can't possibly comprehend Him. If we find ourselves comprehending Him, then we can be sure we're off track.

A Christian is nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school for Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better.

You can stay too long in a job, that's for sure. But by the same token, in the 12 years I have been CEO of GE, there have been four CEOs of Toshiba. So there's too short a time to do it, and there's too long a time to do it.

Much good art got made while money ruled; I like a lot of it, and hardship and poverty aren't virtues. The good news is that, since almost no one will be selling art, artists - especially emerging ones - won't have to think about turning out a consistent style or creating a brand. They'll be able to experiment as much as they want.

When people don't have a hopeful vision before them or the possible resolution of their difficulties by peaceful means, then they can be attracted to violence and to separatism.

I love those tiny little onions in the spring that are so small they're almost like a little chive.

I do a lot of damage to my hair every day because of my work. I just noticed this huge change. It started getting thinner, and it started falling out. I hit 30, and I literally felt like I was balding!

At first blush, it seems that the young people who were shot down in the parking lot at the base of Blanket Hill gave up their lives for a dream that died with them.

The Governor's Office is going to get out of the litigation business.

Living with a stammer is difficult. It's a daily uphill struggle with emotional baggage weighing you down. You can't be the person you want to be.

I've got some gift for languages. You follow your gift. But Latin's not easy.

Wexford started off as a very conventional, tough cop and not a very original character because I had no idea I was writing a series, of course. I had no idea I'd created a series character.

The entrepreneurial life is one of challenge work dedication perseverance exhilaration agony accomplishment failure sacrifice control powerlessness. But ultimately extraordinary satisfaction.

It is better for the Arab countries themselves to interfere out of their national, humanitarian, political and military duties and to do what is necessary to stop the bloodshed in Syria.

The problem was the journalists who also did not understand much of my music, but they wrote about it. I think you fell into the usual trap laid out by parts of the press and other writers: that the poor musician has always to fight the evil companies and managers.

When people don't understand that the government doesn't have their interests in mind, they're more susceptible to go to war.

The world itself has become a smaller place. If you want to be remembered and create a legacy, you have to reach out to people. They want to know you. I can just say where I'm going, and Twitter will get it, and if there's a controversy, I can give my opinion. It's easier to communicate.

In the 1950s and early 1960s, psychoanalysis swept through the intellectual community, and it was the dominant mode of thinking about the mind. People felt that this was a completely new set of insights into human motivation, and that its therapeutic potential was significant.

I get recognised in the street, but that's more from all the Scottish people who are down in Blackpool on their holidays.

I think with any challenge or any matchup, I can have my own personal feelings of what I want, but it really all depends on our audience. Our job is to give them the best entertainment that we feel is right. If it's something that they want to see, they'll be loud and vocal about it, and we'll do it.

Texting is a supremely secretive medium of communication - it's like passing a note - and this means we should be very careful what we use it for.

I'm looking for someone who works as hard as I do. Who loves their work as much as I do, so at the end of the night we have something real to talk about, something exciting that makes our blood flow and boil.

Because his basic idea that he got from the study of gall wasps is that everyone's sexuality is unique.
