How we are using up our home, how we are living and polluting the planet is frightening. It was evident when I was a child. It's more evident now.

We are in danger of destroying ourselves by our greed and stupidity. We cannot remain looking inwards at ourselves on a small and increasingly polluted and overcrowded planet.

Our new world rests on order. The danger is disorder. And in today's world, it can now spread like contagion.

I suspect that a huge amount of the anxiety and suffering that we see around can be closely traced to our wanton misuse of our resources. Just look at any garbage dump and see what is wasted. In a sense, we've wasted our souls.

There are risks which are not acceptable: the destruction of humanity is one of them.

The world has just got more dangerous because the things we use have got more dangerous.

The first light of day today revealed what we had feared. The devastation is greater than our worst fears. It's just totally overwhelming.

Two dangers constantly threaten the world: order and disorder.

I think the world is full of evil people. I think in some ways we're in more danger now than before.
