We're just a conceited, naked ape. But in our minds we're some sort of divine legend, and we see ourselves as some sort of god.

Sea transportation should be by sail...Air transportation should be by solar powered blimps when air transportation is necessary.
Paul Watson

Paul Watson
Back in 1980, whale watching surpassed whaling as an industry. Now it's worth about four times as much. Whale watching provides far, far more jobs to people than whaling ever did. Whale watching has become an ally in the fight to end whaling.
Paul Watson
We don't give a damn what you or anybody else on this planet thinks. We didn't sink those ships for you. We did it for the whales.
Paul Watson
We go after unlawful activities.
Paul Watson
You cannot commit an act of violence against a non-sentient object, only against a living thing.
Paul Watson
I've had a lot of disappointments. I think my biggest disappointment is the failure of elected officials to make good on their promises in regards to the environment or anything else, really. I have very little faith in politicians.
