Ian Somerhalder quotes about
ocean america important
Oceans are one of the most important things in the world now and that is a national security threat of the United States of America, to be honest with you. That is why seeing the habitat destroyed is so short-sighted by us.
brain mosquitoes attention
I have the attention span of a mosquito from multitasking and all the things that have affected my poor little brain.
world looks actors
Models-turned-actors are a bit of a cliché... It is a huge cliché but you have to look at the positive aspects. I learned a lot about the world and took a lot of knowledge away from it.
teacher medicine firefighter
The will to live that possesses us to create medicine, to become firefighters or teachers, is the same will to live that is woven into all living beings.
positive moving fighting
I can't let time move on without fighting tooth and nail and hopefully being a part of a revolution that is positive.
years elephants ivory
I was pretty shocked to learn that as many as 30,000 elephants are being killed every year to fuel the ivory trade, despite an international ban since 1989, and that 60% of forest elephants have already been wiped out. At this rate, experts say populations will become extinct in the next decade. No one needs ivory.
would-be alternatives actors
I don't know how to do anything else other than be an actor. If I wasn't in this, I would be in alternative energy and conservation.
wise sexy powerful
We love things that are dangerous yet sexy. We love things that are powerful and wise.
rivers differences tree
We are the environment. The world is literally one biological process. The trees are our lungs. Look at the Amazon River system next to a human cardiovascular system, look at corals or trees and look at our lungs, you literally cannot tell the difference. They’re the same. So when we destroy our environment, we’re effectively destroying ourselves.
father unique plant-life
Whether that expansion is towards the beings around you or flora, fauna, and creatures. Love has so many unique yet consistent forms. People like Branson - he's an idea guru. Guys like Allan Savory - he's like Father Earth. Allan has literally discovered how to stop desertification and make Africa come alive with plant life. In each of its forms, love has an infinite scope of potential expansion, all of which I see leading to growth.
vampire-diaries painful overrated
I've been in love. It's painful, pointless and overrated.
commitment ideas giving
Usually you just use these words: "I give you my, I make this commitment to you, I honor this idea between us." For me, commitment boils down to honor. Because you make a commitment to protect our environment, you make a commitment to species preservation, you make a commitment to stop things like human trafficking. You make a commitment to stop smoking, to eat better. Typically, something that is positive. A positive notion of honor.
compassion people progress
We cannot progress as a society, as a people, if we lack compassion
sleep interesting witch
Sleeping with a witch would probably be pretty interesting. I hear that, and I understand that.
