Jean-Michel Jarre Quotes

We seem to think we have some control over this planet.

I do believe this period of the 1980's will be remembered as the time the planet struck back. The planet is telling us we can't treat it this way anymore.

If we are serious about our human wellbeing - from local communities to the global world economy - we need to now reconnect our entire world to the planet.

The planet isn't going anywhere. We are.

I never lose an opportunity to speak about my obsession: humankind and the environment.

For how many people do you think might yet stand on this planet before the sun grows cold? That's the responsibility we hold in our hands.

The environment has fallen to the wayside in politics.

Everywhere people are at work to build a better world in which we - and some of the beauty of this world - will be guaranteed to survive. Everywhere they are at war with the forces threatening us and the planet.

Perhaps the time has come to cease calling it the 'environmentalist' view, as though it were a lobbying effort outside the mainstream of human activity, and to start calling it the real-world view.

Humanity is consuming the resources of the earth and life in an excessive and disordered way, forgetting the earth's own needs

Our conservation laws are based on static ideas about nature—not landscapes that are rapidly changing because of something humans did.
