Fire is our first form of technology.

I'm probably a bit romantic about it, but I think we humans miss having contact with fire. We need it.

Among the notable things about fire is that it also requires oxygen to burn - exactly like its enemy, life. Thereby are life and flames so often compared.

A thought often makes us hotter than a fire.

Ever since we invented fire and the wheel, we've been demonstrating both our ability and our inherent desire to fix things that we don't like about ourselves and our environment.

Fire taps something ancient and vital in each of us, something both snarling and reverential.

What is it about the component of fire? People have written about it. People have wondered about it.

Fire has always been and, seemingly, will always remain, the most terrible of the elements.

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

I love fire. As a child I loved setting light to things. I'd always be in the forest putting matches to pieces of wood. I've always regarded fire as my friend.
