Lynn Margulis Zitate

Politicians need a better understanding of global ecology. We need to be freed from our species-specific arrogance. No evidence exists that we are 'chosen', the unique species for which all the others were made. Nor are we the most important one because we are so numerous, powerful and dangerous.

Die Politiker brauchen ein besseres Verständnis der globalen Ökologie. Wir müssen von unserer artenspezifischen Arroganz befreit werden. Es gibt keinen Beweis dafür, dass wir "auserwählt" sind, die einzigartige Spezies, für die alle anderen gemacht wurden. Wir sind auch nicht die wichtigsten, weil wir so zahlreich, mächtig und gefährlich sind.

Costume designers don't care about trends. They appreciate, above so many other qualities, that tailoring is everything, which is a mantra for the way I dress.
