The greatest crises of our time

“The greatest existential crisis of our time is sudden manmade climate change, which now greatly exceeds the pace of natural climate change. The greatest moral crisis of our time is man's abuse of nature and nonhuman life, which dwarfs even man's inhumanity to man.” 
— Albert Einstein

“This American Life”


“‘This American Life’ is like beer nuts or kettle-cooked potato chips. Once you've listened to Ira Glass say just one sentence, you can't stop until the end of the story.”
— Albert Einstein

Cilantro



“You can NEVER have too much cilantro.
Just sayin’.”
— Albert Einstein

Extremists are more alike than different

“There comes a point as people move farther and farther to the left or to the right, or in any other ‘directions’ politically or ideologically, that they become harder and harder to distinguish. They become more alike than different in a mutual loss of rationality and humanity.”
— Albert Einstein

Knee jerk



“I don't care if your knee always jerks to the right or to the left. Either way, youre just a fool with a spastic neurological condition.” 
— Albert Einstein

Don't count on a techno-fix for climate change

“Continuing to profligately emit greenhouse gasses while counting on a technological fix – a silver bullet – to save us in the eleventh hour is like smoking three packs a day and counting on a cure for lung cancer to be there when we need it. It's magical thinking and a recipe for self-destruction.” — Albert Einstein
