«L'uomo che osa sprecare anche un'ora del suo tempo non ha scoperto il valore della vita».
«Questa nostra terra, che un tempo ci sembrava infinitamente grande, deve essere considerata nella sua piccolezza. Viviamo in un sistema chiuso, dipendenti gli uni dagli altri e dipendenti tutti dalla terra stessa. Tutto ciò che ci divide è infinitamente meno importante del pericolo che ci unisce».
«Il maschio scelto dalla femmina non è colui che le sembra più attraente, ma colui che la disgusta di meno».
«Gli animali non solo provano affetto, ma desiderano essere amati».
