Vandana Shiva
Cultivating and conserving diversity is no luxury in our times: it is a survival imperative.
Vandana Shiva
I think what we owe each other is a celebration of life and to replace fear and hopelessness with fearlessness and joy.
Vandana Shiva
I started out in nuclear physics. But after I became more sensitized to the environmental and health implications of the nuclear system - I was being trained to be the first women in the fast-breeder reactor in India (and was in it when it first went critical) - I didn't feel comfortable with it. So I went into theoretical physics.
Vandana Shiva
Soil, not oil, holds the future for humanity.
Vandana Shiva
We are either going to have a future where women lead the way to make peace with the Earth or we are not going to have a human future at all.
Vandana Shiva
The only way to build hope is throuhgh the Earth.
Vandana Shiva
