"You know, the worldâ€™s not running out of oil. Thereâ€™s all kinds of oil left in all kinds of places. â€¦Weâ€™re never going to run out of oil. But what the world is going to run out of, indeed, what the world has already run out of, is the oil you can afford to burn."

“You waste life when you waste good food.”
“You know, all the evil in the world, all the sadness comes from not having a good answer to that question: What do I do next? You just keep thinking of good things to do, lad. You'll be all right. We'll all be all right. I wanted you to know that.”
