Oil Quotes

Paint is something that I use with my hands and do all those tactile things. I really don’t like oil because you can’t get back into it, or you make a mess. It’s not my favourite thing... pencil is more my medium than wet paint Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, ‘Hey, come see my play,’ he’d say, ‘Sure.’ He’d see one, ‘Oh, good play’ - you know, very typical dad reaction Picture Quote #1

You know, oil prices from 2007, on the strength of a very robust global economy and a very robust emerging China, many of you will recall, ramped up to near $150 a barrel. Then we had the financial - U.S. financial collapse. Oil prices collapsed all the way down to $40 a barrel Picture Quote #1

Some of these biggest financial institutions are out there trading in commodities. They’re buying oil tankers. This is not a financial system that has calmed down and is there to serve the American people Picture Quote #1

There are no rules about investment. Sharks can be good. Artist’s dung can be good. Oil on canvas can be good Picture Quote #1

No touching... Cashmere is highly sensitive to the oil in poor people’s fingers Picture Quote #1

Right now, oil is being isolated around the globe, and there is a major effort in shipping, trucking and otherwise transporting that oil around to a very finite number of refineries. Biology allows us to make these same fuels in a much more distributed fashion Picture Quote #1

I think the devil will not have me damned, lest the oil that’s in me should set hell on fire Picture Quote #1

I went back to the Art Institute, then spent the summer at the Ox-Bow School in Saugatuck, Michigan. That’s what really awakened me. I made a lot of oil paintings and my first performance Picture Quote #1

In the course of writing ‘First Light,’ I climbed all over and through the Hale Telescope, where I found rooms, stairways, tunnels, and abandoned machines leaking oil. My notebooks show tooth-marks where I gripped them with my teeth while climbing around inside the telescope, and the notebooks are stained with Flying Horse telescope oil Picture Quote #1

I have serious concerns about the potential risks of taking lots of fish oil capsules. So much fish oil can have paradoxical effects, reducing immune function in later life Picture Quote #1

I have kind of a weird technique with zucchini. I cut it into small cubes; sweat it in olive oil, adding just a little oil at time so it crisps. Then I cover it with boiling water, not stock, which really brings out the flavor of the zucchini, add lemon, thyme, and serve it with burrata and a fried zucchini flower Picture Quote #1

I’ve often argued that oil and gas exploration is a state’s rights issue. It is abundantly clear that the State of Florida does not want drilling to negatively affect its beaches and shores Picture Quote #1

Let us build a 21st-century rural economy of cutting-edge companies and technologies that lead us to energy and food security. Such an investment will revitalize rural America, re-establish our moral leadership on climate security and eliminate our addiction to foreign oil Picture Quote #1

Today, public companies don’t like the idea of conglomerates. People want to buy something in which they know where they are putting their money - into the food business or the oil and gas business. They don’t want to put their money into a hodge-podge as a general rule Picture Quote #1

Part of what the food industry does with public relations, just like the chemical industry or the oil industry, is to try to erase their fingerprints from their messaging Picture Quote #1

Food shortage will be to the 1990’s what oil shortage was to the 1970’s Picture Quote #1

The issue is: $1 trillion or $2 trillion is a lot of money. If our objective is to have stability in the Middle East, secure oil, or extend democracy, you can do a lot of democracy buying for this sum. To put it in context: The whole world spends $50 billion a year on foreign aid Picture Quote #1

Obama wants to be thought of as the president who freed us from foreign oil. But if he doesn’t show some political courage, he may well be remembered as the president who cooked the planet Picture Quote #1

Nuclear power, once regarded as petroleum’s natural heir, has become less and less attractive as its numerous drawbacks come to light. Coal, the other fossil fuel, is ultimately as exhaustible as oil Picture Quote #1

I think the world on the other side of fossil fuel is more local - the logic of sun and wind is diffuse and spread out, not concentrated like the logic of coal and oil Picture Quote #1

Fossil fuels, including oil, are running out and supplies are getting harder to find. If we do nothing, prices will continue to rise and our reliance on oil will come to an abrupt and tumultuous end, causing global economic and social turmoil Picture Quote #1

Since 1850, burning of fossil fuels, coal, oil and natural gas has increased 100 times to produce energy as the world has industrialized to serve the world’s more than 6 billion and growing population Picture Quote #1

In truth, every American administration since that of Franklin D. Roosevelt has maintained close ties with the Saudi rulers, and for a single, simple reason: oil Picture Quote #1

The U.S. uses most of its oil for transportation. We can limit U.S. demand for oil by requiring automakers to use the technology that already exists to improve fuel economy - technology that the automakers refuse to bring into the market despite societal demand Picture Quote #1

I don’t see a groundswell of people willing to raise gas taxes right now. That leaves fuel economy standards as the only effective tool we have as a nation to make a dent in our dangerous and ever growing consumption of oil Picture Quote #1

What’s amazing to me? General Electric has a bigger budget for - special interest budget than all of the oil companies combined, and yet nobody says anything Picture Quote #1

I haven’t been to a gas station in years. It feels so good not to be a slave to gas, playing the whole game of war for oil Picture Quote #1
