The most meaningful engine of change, powerful enough to confront corporate power, may be not so much environmental quality, as the economic development and growth associated with the effort to improve it.

I don't believe in environmentalism as the solution to anything. What I believe is that environmentalism illuminates the things that need to be done to solve all of the problems together.

The humblest is the peer of the most powerful.

Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful.

The vote is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have.
