Our world is one of terrible contradictions. Plenty of food, but one billion people go hungry. Lavish lifestyles for a few, but poverty for too many others.

Billions spent on weapons to kill people instead of keeping them safe. — Ban Ki-moon

Farmers since the beginning of time have been feeding the world very successfully without systematically abusing animals or destroying the environment.

Let me get a sip of water here... you figure this stuff is safe to drink? Actually, I don't care, I drink it anyway. You know why?

I'm a loyal American and I'm not happy unless I let government and industry poison me a little bit every day. — George Carlin

The fact that cultures are failing all over the world means that they don't know how to operate a society to make it work.

Protecting the health and safety of all Americans doesn't have to come at the expense of our economy's bottom line.

We can, and indeed must, have both. — William J. Clinton

She felt as safe with him as she'd done with Iorek Byrnison the armoured bear. — Philip Pullman

The people are immensely likable— cheerful, extrovert, quick-witted, and unfailingly obliging. Their cities are safe and clean and nearly always built on water.

Life doesn't get much better than this. — Bill Bryson
