Simon Conway Morris Zitate

If there were a clear prospect that such evils were part of a barbarian past, then at least we might find a small crumb of comfort. No such prospect exists: no scientific analysis can even remotely answer or account for past and present horrors of human behaviour.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn es eine klare Aussicht gab, dass solche Übel Teil einer barbarischen Vergangenheit waren, dann könnten wir wenigstens ein kleines Trostbrot finden. Es gibt keine solche Perspektive: Keine wissenschaftliche Analyse kann sogar aus der Ferne auf vergangene und gegenwärtige Schrecken menschlichen Verhaltens antworten oder diese erklären.

I always hope that people feel less alone when they see a movie that I make. That some part of the story played out on the big screen will resonate for individuals in the audience in a way that gives them comfort.

It's surreal to think that I own this beautiful island. It doesn't feel like anyone can own Lanai. What it feels like to me is this really cool 21st-century engineering project, where I get to work with the people of Lanai to create a prosperous and sustainable Eden in the Pacific.
