More From Paul R. Ehrlich

In man's life, the absence of an essential component usually leads to the adoption of a substitute. the substitute is usually embraced with vehemence and extremism, for we have to convince ourselves that what we took as second choice is the best there ever was. thus blind faith is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves; insatiable desire a substitute for hope; accumulation a substitute for growth; fervent hustling a substitute for purposeful action; and pride a substitute for an unattainable self-respect.

These were people so hungry for love that they were accepting substitutes. there were embracing material things and expecting a sort of hug back. but it never works. you can't substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship. money is no substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness. i can tell you as i'm sitting here dying, when you most need it, neither money nor power will give you the feeling you're looking for, no matter how much of them you have.

It's easy to run to others. it's so hard to stand on one's own record. you can fake virtue for an audience. you can't fake it in your own eyes. your ego is your strictest judge. they run from it. they spend their lives running. it's easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. it's simple to seek substitutes for competence--such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. but there is no substitute for competence.

Controlled middle east oil, it would control the world. this oil represents 65 percent of world oil reserves. therefore, america believes if it squashed iraq, it would control the oil of the middle east and consequently hold the oil in its hands [and] fix its price the way it likes.

For love of domination we must substitute equality; for love of victory we must substitute justice; for brutality we must substitute intelligence; for competition we must substitute cooperation. we must learn to think of the human race as one family.

I basically don't think that the way we do things is that dependent on one resource, such as oil. there can be different kinds of engines for cars. i think that solar heating, wind heating can substitute for a lot of uses for oil. i'd like to see those things happen because they are more sustainable in any case. but i do not think that running out of oil is not going to bother us that much. i think we have got to be rescued by something or we really are going down a slippery slope.

Civics is not only how to run the country before it's your turn to run the country; it is, in fact, the study of power, practical political power. and you must start that process at an age level when kids' brains are still open and malleable.

A novelist can shift view-point if it comes off. ... indeed, this power to expand and contract perception (of which the shifting view-point is a symptom), this right to intermittent knowledge - i find one of the great advantages of the novel-form ... this intermittence lends in the long run variety and colour to the experiences we receive.

No, i'm not (disappointed). there's no reason to be because i'm on an incredible run. you always expect a loss once in a while. so when it happens, why be disappointed if i win over 90% of my matches.
