“In nature’s economy the currency is not money, it is life.”

“I think the American people should see that the corporations abandoned them long ago.  That people will have to build their own economies and rebuild democracy as a living democracy.  The corporations belong to no land, no country, no people. They have no loyalty to anything apart from the base-line-their profits.  And the profits today are on an unimaginable scale; it has become illegitimate, criminal profit-profits extracted at the cost of life.”

“Nature shrinks as capital grows.  The growth of the market cannot solve the very crisis it creates.”

“Genetic engineering has never been about saving the world.  It’s about controlling the world.”

“In the seed and the soil, we find the answers to every one of the crises we face.  The crises of violence and war.  The crises of hunger and disease.  The crises of the destruction of democracy.”

“You cannot insert a gene you took from a bacteria into a seed and call it LIFE.  You have not created life, instead you have only polluted it.”

“The time has come to reclaim the stolen harvest and celebrate the growing and giving of good food as the highest gift and the most revolutionary act.”
