Text Quotes
The actions of my government are not bearable. They devastate our natural resources and deprive our people. The politicians speak piously while practicing greed and divisiveness; they care nothing for the nation. I want to do more than withdraw my support. I want to tar and feather them (Donella Meadows Quotes)
Once again I stopped listening to the news this week (Donella Meadows Quotes)
What Clinton did with Lewinsky was despicable but was no threat to the nation. That he lied about it repeatedly and to the public is a reason for us to cease to trust him and for him to resign (Donella Meadows Quotes)

George W. cares as much about climate change as you would expect from a Texas oilma (Donella Meadows Quotes)
I spent my time trying to understand grand jury procedure - a topic about which I never before had the slightest interest (Donella Meadows Quotes)
There have been high crimes and misdemeanors, but they have been committed by the special prosecutor and the Congress, not the president (Donella Meadows Quotes)
A good leader sets the right goals, gets things moving, and helps us to discover that we already know what to do (Donella Meadows Quotes)

A vision should be judged by the clarity of its values, not the clarity of its implementation path [in Mediated Modeling page 43] (Donella Meadows Quotes)
Biodiversity can’t be maintained by protecting a few species in a zoo, or by preserving greenbelts or national parks. To function properly, nature needs more room than that. It can maintain itself, however, without human expense, without zookeepers, park rangers, foresters or gene banks. All it needs is to be left alone (Donella Meadows Quotes)
You should issue demerits for tree cutting or the destruction of humus (Donella Meadows Quotes)
The grand jury’s job is not to weigh the evidence from both sides; it is only to decide whether there is enough evidence on one side to bring a person to trial (Donella Meadows Quotes)
Calculating how much carbon is absorbed by which forests and farms is a tricky task, especially when politicians do it (Donella Meadows Quotes)
There is too much bad news to justify complacency. There is too much good news to justify despair (Donella Meadows Quotes)
No one can define or measure justice, democracy, security, freedom, truth, or love. No one can define or measure any value. But if no one speaks up for them, if systems aren’t designed to produce them, if we don’t speak about them and point toward their presence or absence, they will cease to exist (Donella Meadows Quotes)
There are no separate systems. The world is a continuum. Where to draw a boundary around a system depends on the purpose of the discussion (Donella Meadows Quotes)
How do we appreciate the good without letting it be the enemy of the perfect? How do we keep a step in the right direction from becoming a stopping point? How do we get beyond shades of insipid light green? (Donella Meadows Quotes)
We can’t control systems or figure them out. But we can dance with them! (Donella Meadows Quotes)
We don’t think a sustainable society need be stagnant, boring, uniform, or rigid. It need not be, and probably could not be, centrally controlled or authoritarian. It could be a world that has the time, the resources, and the will to correct its mistakes, to innovate, to preserve the fertility of its planetary ecosystems. It could focus on mindfully increasing quality of life rather than on mindlessly expanding material consumption and the physical capital stock (Donella Meadows Quotes)
A system is a set of things people, cells, molecules, or whatever interconnected in such a way that they produce their own pattern of behavior over time... The system, to a large extent, causes its own behavior (Donella Meadows Quotes)
It is in this space of mastery over paradigms that people throw off addictions, live in constant joy, bring down empires, get locked up or burned at the stake or crucified or shot, and have impacts that last for millennia (Donella Meadows Quotes)
A knowledgeable and courageous U. S. president could help enormously in leading the world’s nations toward saving the climate (Donella Meadows Quotes)
The latest scientific assessment has almost doubled the predicted rate of warming if no changes are made (Donella Meadows Quotes)
Your paradigm is so intrinsic to your mental process that you are hardly aware of its existence, until you try to communicate with someone with a different paradigm (Donella Meadows Quotes)
