Quote of the day:

We can make the sun shine when it’s dark and make it dark when the sun shines; we can be warm when it’s cold or cold when it’s warm.  But in the process we’ve disconnected ourselves from the essential of life, which is nature…we need to remember that we are all made out of the same stuff.  In every one of us there’s a little bit of whale, of rose, of fern, of butterfly.

Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of famed oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, speaking as part of the Distinguished Speakers Series, University at Buffalo on March 1.
