More quotes by Elizabeth May
"I hold a vision of this blue green planet, safe and in balance. At the end of the Fossil Fuel Era, we are emerging to a new reality. We are ready to make the next leap - as momentous as abolishing slavery or giving women the vote."
"Those who take action have a disproportionate impact. The power of one is to move many."
"We have to do what we have to do. Miracles happen. The life force of this planet is very strong. Dandelions poke through sidewalks. We don't know enough to give up. We only know enough to know that we have to try to change the course of human events."
"There is not enough tea in the world to calm me."
"I will never shrink from speaking truth to power."
