"A Quotation At the Right Moment is Like Bread to the Famished" - The Talmud

So we just couldn't get enough SIS-388 this week, so before we delve into the final exam we thought we'd leave with our favorite quotes from the semester. We'll each be posting our two favorites, so check them out by clicking "comments" below!

Also check out Laura's journal entries from her participation in the No-Technology Project here.

I won't be leaving you with a quote of the week this time, so you'll just have to click below to get your quotation fix.

And that, folks, as they say, is that.

  1. 1. "Consider this: all the ants on the planet, taken together, have a biomass greater than that of humans. Ants have been incredibly industrious for millions of years. Yet their productiveness nourishes plants, animals, and soil. Human industry has been in full swing for a little over a century, yet it has brought about a decline in almost every ecosystem on the planet. Nature doesn't have a design problem. People do."
    - Michael Braungart

    2. "We have lost the wild for now. Perhaps in five or ten million years it will return."
    - Stephen M. Meyer

  3. From Laura Castelli:

    My two favorite quotes from the class come from Friedman and Maniates.

    Friedman: "We no longer know an act of God and an act of man."

    Maniates: "Be like Rush Limbaugh - just a little."
