"What happens is all these things we're seeing â€“ campylobacter, E coli, mad cow, listeria, salmonella, that weren't even in the lexicon 30 years ago â€“ that is the industrial paradigm exceeding its efficiency. So these Latin squiggly words that we're learning to say â€“ bovine spongiform encephalopathy â€“ are nature's language screaming to us: ENOUGH! And the question then is: what will it take for us to listen? And my contention is that Wall Street is still wearing conquistador mentality and uniforms, and nobody is listening to the pleadings of nature saying: 'Enough.'"

In electronics, most if not all active circuit elements involve non-equilibrium phenomena occurring at surfaces. Much of biology is concerned with reactions at a surface.”

“Thanksgiving. It proved you had survived another year with its wars, inflation, unemployment, smog, presidents. It was a grand neurotic gathering of clans: loud drunks, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, screaming children, would-be suicides. And don't forget indigestion.
