"Even when we see nature overwhelming us with new problems, a thoughtful analysis shows the reason comes back to indict us, not nature."
"The slaves today we call the poor. Those of us in this country are the masters. And we benefit by having the poor subsidize us. This naked exploitation is clothed in the marketplace, national automy and shallow democracy but its still exploitation.
"Roger Bacon, seven hundred years ago, in a report to the pope on science, concluded that science lacks a moral compass. But so does the marketplace, politics, governments, universities, and the institutionalized church, which leads to my sixth, and last point: that is not true of the individuals in those organizations. It is the individuals that inspire the moral compass — Ashoka, Marcus Aurelius, Lincoln, Gandhi, Schweitzer, Martin Luther King, E.O. Wilson. And when institutions get it right, it is because of individuals."
