Part of my plan was not only to introduce all useful animals that I possibly could into this part of Australia, but also the most valuable plants of every description. – George Grey
All of the plants that we do not consider food that are safe for the human body to digest, we don’t eat because they’re sour and bitter. The reason why you don’t eat Kentucky bluegrass or crabgrass is because it tastes sour and bitter. – Homaro Cantu
As a director, I’m not the one animating every frame, every shot. I’m moving around like a surgeon on rounds, or a farmer checking in on all the plants being grown, pruning and adjusting. For me, it’s a very exciting job. – Henry Selick
So it was flawed in that it didn’t require California to have a first claim on the power plants. It deregulated part of the market, but not all of the market. – Gray Davis
We are determined to provide for the nuclear fuel of such plants inside the country, at the hands of local Iranian scientists. We are going to follow on this path. – Hassan Rouhani
During the 1950s, I decided, as did many others, that many practical problems were beyond analytic solution and that simulation techniques were required. At RAND, I participated in the building of large logistics simulation models; at General Electric, I helped build models of manufacturing plants. – Harry Markowitz
On the tech side, little start-ups can do something magnificent. They don’t need too much in terms of plants and infrastructure. – Hamdi Ulukaya
Why? Because we’re very well down this process as it is – flawed as it is – and we’re counting on getting more power plants on line by the end of 2003 so we have a surplus of power. – Gray Davis
I could only speak in the smallest, most intimate circles about the real reasons which made me undertake the changeover of the plants for certain lines of production for I had to expect that many people would not understand me. – Gustav Krupp
I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it’s an old system that we can’t control. – Hayao Miyazaki
We started focusing on this in earnest late summer and early fall. I can build more power plants. In the 12 years before us, not a single plant of major consequence was built. – Gray Davis
The distribution of plants in a given locality is not more marked and defined than that of the birds. Show a botanist a landscape, and he will tell you where to look for the lady’s-slipper, the columbine, or the harebell. On the same principles, the ornithologist will direct you where to look for the greenlets, the wood-sparrow, or the chewink. – John Burroughs
The Botanischer Garten in Berlin has one of Europe’s finer winter trails, leading in careful order from glasshouses devoted to African-American and Australian desert species, through a fine collection of tropical plants, and on to the orchid house. – John Burnside
We are all regionalists in our origins, however ‘universal’ our themes and characters, and without our cherished hometowns and childhood landscapes to nourish us, we would be like plants set in shallow soil. Our souls must take root – almost literally. – Joyce Carol Oates
What you compose with is neither here nor there, you compose with words, or you compose with stone plants and trees, or you compose with events; the Sheriff’s officer, or whatever. – Ian Hamilton Finlay
So, the point I’m making is, we are not going to cut spending in Washington if we think it’s the job of every congressman and senator is to pave local parking lots and build local sewer plants. These parochial interests are getting in the way of the national interests. – Jim DeMint
My parents owned a plants nursery. We all grew up growing things and planting things and selling things, and I also managed landscape crews. – Jack Dangermond
It is not easy for me to digest meat. I waste too much energy in digesting meat, and that’s why I get my proteins from other products. I like beans and other legume plants very much. I need a lot of ‘live’ products such as fruit and vegetables. – Ilya Ilyin
There is no reason why the Louvre should be your favourite gallery just because it has the grandest collections in France, any more than Kew should necessarily be a favourite garden because it has the largest assemblage of plants, or Tesco your chosen shop because it has the widest variety of canned beans. – Jim Crace
Although native Africans domesticated some plants in the Sahel and in Ethiopia and in tropical West Africa, they acquired valuable domestic animals only later, from the north. – Jared Diamond
Organisms don’t think of CO2 as a poison. Plants and organisms that make shells, coral, think of it as a building block. – Janine Benyus
The ‘Desert’ sweeps up to the walls of Baghdad, but it is a misnomer to call the vast level of rich, stoneless, alluvial soil a desert. It is a dead flat of uninhabited earth; orange colocynth balls, a little wormwood, and some alkaline plants which camels eat, being its chief products. After the inundations, reedy grass grows in the hollows. – Isabella Bird
I don’t think we’re going to save anything if we go around talking about saving plants and animals only; we’ve got to translate that into what’s in it for us. – Jim Fowler
At the height of Iraq’s clandestine nuclear weapons program, which nearly succeeded in building a bomb in 1991, Tuwaitha incorporated research reactors, uranium mining and enrichment facilities, chemical engineering plants and an explosives fabrication center to build the device that detonates a nuclear core. – Barton Gellman
It is hard to overstate how valuable it is to have all the incredible tools that are used for human disease to study plants. – Bill Gates
My father being an outdoors person, he used to take us on quite a few adventures thorugh the wild areas down there, introducing us to alligators and rattlesnakes and all the trees and plants. – Jim Fowler
It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest in the Autumn. – B. C. Forbes
The trains carrying coal to power plants are death trains. Coal-fired power plants are factories of death. – James Hansen
