Quotations regarding 'Environment'

Choose a letter: 
LA can be a very open and accepting creative environment. But it is important, because there is this odd separation here, it is important to make your kids mindful of other people and other people's plight.
Ryan Phillippe, American Actor (1974-  )
Parents provide their children with genes as well as an environment, so the fact that talkative parents have kids with good language skills could simply mean that and that the same genes that make parents talkative make children articulate.
Steven Pinker, Canadian Scientist (1954-  )
So no, it's not all in the genes, but what isn't in the genes isn't in the family environment either. It can't be explained in terms of the overall personalities or the child-rearing practices of parents.
Steven Pinker, Canadian Scientist (1954-  )
People in Slow Food understand that food is an environmental issue.
Michael Pollan, American Educator
Leaving England was a painful decision, and we still have some regrets about it. However, at that time, the research environment for theoretical chemistry was clearly better in the U.S.
John Pople, English Scientist (1925-2004)
We must learn to understand humanity better so that we can create an environment that is more beneficial to people, more rewarding, more pleasant to experience.
John Portman, American Architect (1924-  )
Architects in the past have tended to concentrate their attention on the building as a static object. I believe dynamics are more important: the dynamics of people, their interaction with spaces and environmental condition.
John Portman, American Architect (1924-  )
Well, right now, I'm very fascinated with 1920s Berlin. I mean, probably the more interesting thing would be to go to the beginning of civilization or precivilization - like polytheistic times. It would be interesting to see what came before modern religion and culture - what circumstances created the environment or the need for it.
Natalie Portman, American Actress (1981-  )
Without individuals feeling safe and having an environment of safety, they then have reluctance of taking part in the city of being active. They wind up wanting to leave the city. That's more detrimental.
Dick Powell, American Actor (1904-1963)
The comparison to the old world is something to get excited about. We have the potential for more choice and innovation, and a different regulatory environment that doesn't place as much weight on economic regulations of terms and conditions.
Michael K. Powell, American Politician (1963-  )
Kafka truly illustrates the way the environment oppresses the individual. He shows how the unconscious controls our lives.
Manuel Puig, Argentinian Author (1932-1990)
I also have a big love of classical music played on piano because this is the environment I grew up in my brother being one of the great masters in this world.
Suzi Quatro, American Musician (1950-  )
It isn't pollution that's harming the environment. It's the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.
Dan Quayle, American Vice President (1947-  )
The government should set a goal for a clean environment but not mandate how that goal should be implemented.
Dixie Lee Ray, American Politician (1914-1994)
If Unix could present the same face, the same capabilities, on machines of many different types, it could serve as a common software environment for all of them.
Eric S. Raymond, American Author (1957-  )
Thompson and Ritchie were among the first to realize that hardware and compiler technology had become good enough that an entire operating system could be written in C, and by 1978 the whole environment had been successfully ported to several machines of different types.
Eric S. Raymond, American Author (1957-  )
For the first time, individual hackers could afford to have home machines comparable in power and storage capacity to the minicomputers of ten years earlier - Unix engines capable of supporting a full development environment and talking to the Internet.
Eric S. Raymond, American Author (1957-  )
If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn't be here. It'd still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.
Ronald Reagan, American President (1911-2004)
Personally I discovered that you could go through the academy as a young scholar, come out, and almost immediately have an impact on the academic environment.
Bernice Johnson Reagon, American Musician (1942-  )
I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend?
Robert Redford, American Actor (1937-  )
