“I consider myself to be a child of this whole planet.”

Interview, live at Coachella http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8YMwcXBePqE <br class="br">Context: I&#x27;ve never really been into flags of any kind, cause flags can bring people together, but they always bring people together against other people, and I don&#x27;t really consider myself to be a patriot in the sense that I say, &#x27;okay, this is my nation,&#x27; I consider myself to be a child of this whole planet.

“I couldn't make the connection between what I was eating, what was on my plate, and the living animal. When I realized this connection, veganism became my lifestyle and my philosophy. … I know that through this philosophy I help not only myself but also the animals, the whole animal world, and the planet.”

“I have to clear away a few popular misconceptions about space as a habitat … It is generally considered that planets are important. Except for Earth, they are not.”

Freeman Dyson (1923) theoretical physicist and mathematician

Part IV: Personal and Philosophical Essays, Ch. 24 : "The World, the Flesh, and the Devil" (1972)
The Scientist As Rebel (2006)
Context: I have to clear away a few popular misconceptions about space as a habitat … It is generally considered that planets are important. Except for Earth, they are not. Mars is waterless, and the others are, for various reasons, basically inhospitable to man. It is generally considered that beyond the sun’s family of planets there is absolute emptiness extending for light-years until you come to another star. In fact, it is likely that the space around the solar system is populated by huge numbers of comets, small worlds a few miles in diameter, rich in water and the other chemicals essential to life.
