Of the many quotations that I’ve compiled over the years, I think that these ten are among the most witty, wry, and clever — and almost all of them have some relevance (directly or indirectly) to sustainability:
“The trouble with the rat race is that, even if you win, you’re still a rat.”
– Lily Tomlin
“Growth for the sake of growth is the ideology of the cancer cell.”
– Edward Abbey
“Urban friends ask me how I can stand living here, ‘so far from everything?’ When I hear this question over the phone, I’m usually looking out the window at a forest, a running creek, and a vegetable garden, thinking: Define everything.”
– Barbara Kingsolver (from her book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life)
“Always do right. That will gratify some of the people and astonish the rest.”
– Mark Twain
“I always wondered why somebody doesn’t do something about that. Then I realized I was somebody.”
– Lily Tomlin
“If you think you are too small to be effective, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.”
– Bette Reese (perhaps paraphrasing from an African proverb?)
“Eighty percent of success is showing up.”
– Woody Allen
“For every problem there is a solution that is simple, clean, and wrong.”
– Henry Louis Mencken
“Things should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.”
