Because mankind can circumvent evolutionary law, it is incumbent upon him, say evolutionary biologists to develop another law to abide by if he wishes to survive, to not outstrip his food base. He must learn restraint. He must derive some other, wiser way of behaving toward the land. He must be more attentive to the biological imperatives of the system of sun-driven protoplasm upon which he, too, is still dependent.

Having taken on his own destiny, he must now think with critical intelligence about where to defer. — Barry Lopez

It's the thing that makes me glad to come home. After all, hope is a form of planning. — Gloria Steinem

Markets mean patrons, buyers, consumers. There is under capitalism one way to wealth: to serve the consumers better and cheaper than other people do. But in the shop and factory, the owner - or in the corporations, the representative of the shareholders, the president - is the boss. The mastership is merely apparent and conditional.

It was this great economic transformation that changed the face of the world. — Ludwig Von Mises
