“I think we’re going to do it, and I think that we must pay what needs to be paid. I don’t think we ought to waste any money, but I think we ought to do the job.” – President John F. Kenned

“No one will protect what they don’t care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced.” – David Attenborough
