- Chauncey Depew
Love
Very
Ted Geisel was trying to make a statement about awareness and personal responsibility. He was very clear about that. But the ideas and themes in 'The Lorax' go beyond a love of trees. It's also a story about the dangers of greed and the power of redemption. That's what makes it a timeless tale.

Principle
Almost
Humans are remarkable: the first species in almost four billion years of life on earth that dominates the biosphere.

Love
Woman
I know the dangers and the seductions of the Middle East. It is part of my identity.
