• A man is an island, but the water is deep
  And the shore on the other side is ragged and steep
  To look for perfection is a lonely old ride
  It takes a whole lot of courage and a whole lot of pride
  When you look for independence and you get what you want
  How come you look back, thinking what have I done?
  But time and again, it dawns on me
  It's the price we pay for liberty
  I should have know, we all need a place to call home

  Joey Tempest

• Restoration ecology is experimental science, a science of love and altruism. In its attempts to reverse the processes of ecosystem degradation it runs exactly counter to the market system, to land speculation, to the whole cultural attitude of regarding the Earth as commodity rather than community. It is a soft-souled science.

• Money alone is only a mean; it presupposes a man to use it. The rich man can go where he pleases, but perhaps please himself nowhere. He can buy a library or visit the whole world, but perhaps has neither patience to read nor intelligence to see.... The purse may be full and the heart empty. He may have gained the world and lost himself; and with all his wealth around him ... he may live as blank a life as any tattered ditcher.

  Robert Louis Stevenson
