I don't have to tell you that the world is a dangerous place. You know that as well as I do.
I was thinking maybe we could go for a walk, find a place to sit and talk. It's not every day I get to meet a real live scientist.
You can't save the world. There are too many people in it.
There's a lot of things in this world that don't make any sense.
We're a long way off from saving the world, aren't we?
It's not just the world that's changing. It's us.
Maybe it's time to start thinking of the world as something we share, something we all have a stake in.
It's not easy to change the world. It's even harder to change yourself.
Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference between what's real and what's not.
We're all in this together. That's the reality.
The world is a big place, and we're just a small part of it.
You can't ignore the world. It's always there, waiting for you to notice it.
