Building The Carbon Bridge

There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.

- Henry David Thoreau

Somebody needed to do something, and it was incredibly pathetic that it had to be us.

- Jerry Garcia

We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities.

- Walt Kelly

The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

- Albert Einstein

If you think in terms of a year, plant a seed; if in terms of ten years, plant trees; if in terms of 100 years, teach the people.

- Confucius

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

- Ghandi

After hydrogen, the most common thing in the universe is stupidity.

- Albert Einstein

For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.

-Richard Feynman
