We think that life develops spontaneously on Earth, so it must be possible for life to develop on suitable planets elsewhere in the universe. But we don't know the probability that a planet develops life.
Today humanity faces a stark choice: save the planet and ditch capitalism, or save capitalism and ditch the planet.
We are using resources as if we had two planets, not one. There can be no 'plan B' because there is no 'planet B.'
Malcolm: Who was that in the video? Caesar: A good man... like you.
Dreyfus: [Last lines as he clutches a detonator] I'm saving the human race [triggers an explosion]
George Taylor: If this is the best they've got around here, in six months we'll be running this planet.
Caroline Aranha: I love chimpanzees. I'm also afraid of them. And it's appropriate to be afraid of them.
John Landon: [aggravated] I get more peace in a goddamned ape house.
[from trailer] Will Rodman: Look, you have no idea of what you're dealing with!
One day, the dance charts will be the biggest chart in the music world. Because we all need to dance. This planet will be a fun planet when the judges in court will end the day with a dance!
I am a more modern female vampire since I came just when our world was disappearing due to the intromission of this future.-Enyo
'Being green' is commendable, but I hope that people don't take too much pride and self-adoration because they shut off the water when they brushed their teeth. The truth of the matter is, conservation alone will do little to save our planet.
The math is dead simple: it seems that the frequency of planets able to support life is roughly one percent. In other words, a billion or more such worlds exist in our galaxy alone. That's a lot of acreage, and it takes industrial-strength credulity ...
Of all the planets apart from Earth in our solar system, Mars is the most hospitable. Yeah. Right. Better keep my visit short. And yet, despite the discomfort, the danger, I love it here. I love coming back for these imaginary vacations. The sights a...
Just think! This whole world of ours is only a speck of mildew sprung up on a tiny planet, yet we think we can have something great - thoughts,, actions! They are all but grains of sand
My first language, the true language of the soul spoken only on our planet of origin, had no word for betrayal or traitor. Or even loyalty- because without the opposite, the concept had no meaning.
In the tide of these wild thoughts we checked our fancy, remembering that only on the rare grains called planets can life gain foothold, and that all this wealth of restless jewels was but a waste of fire.

As the new spirituality begins to become the pervasive spirituality of the planet, we'll find that we have abandoned our philosophy of contradictions in which we say we're all one but continue to try to win.
The planet Earth, though not threatened with destruction by man-made global warming, is by no means indestructible. There are many unpredictable events within our solar system, and still more outside it, that could make Earth uninhabitable by humans.
