Ian Somerhalder quotes about
passion connections world
The world is so tremendously spectacular that every visual, sense, and sparked connection swells my unrestrained passion for life. I find I feel this the most when I am immersed in nature and sliding into the bloodstream of the wilderness.
life-lesson teaching animal
Every life lesson that trickled its way into my being came from a mutually respectful relationship between the environment and my family. We were raised to appreciate the teachings of animals and the untouched magnificence of raw natural beauty. This understanding of our precious and complex ecosystem has carried me throughout every chapter of my life and is a significant column of my identity.
thinking self issues
If we were to focus our attention on one particular problem and neglect the others, we would fail to see the true scope of our current global issues. The changes made in that form of thinking are limited and self-contained.
If you want change, it has to be generational.
artistic our-future ability
I am seeing strength in the ability of artistic expression to change our future.
Oil is dead, on its way to extinction.
ocean heart thinking
Think about this: If water is the blood of our planet flowing through veinous rivers, streams, and into our oceans, what does that make coral? Our heart. We simply cannot survive without our heart; therefore, it's mandatory we heal and protect our coral reefs now.
bureaucracy
The bureaucracies that are in place now, they're not going to change, they're not going to stop.
love-you if-you-love-someone love-someone
If you love someone when you're 20 and you carry that love with you until you're 90, it's not going to be the same dynamic.
thinking laughing degrees
We ultimately have to find truth in the material, and I think that transfers onto the screen. Obviously there's varying degrees of it, and we don't get it right all the time [laughs], but I think when it feels grounded, it's because we recognize the truth in the material.
reading pages transformation
It's really cool to see the transformation of reading something on a page and it coming to life.
making-money environment
I don't need to make money destroying my environment. Why don't I just love it and figure out a way to be more sustainable?
sleep interesting witch
Sleeping with a witch would probably be pretty interesting. I hear that, and I understand that.
home animal oil
Very little makes me feel vulnerable these days. I hit my absolute apex of vulnerability when I returned to my home state of Louisiana, during the Gulf oil spill disaster, and witnessed mass devastation to every demonstration of life surrounding me - from grass, trees, bayous, insects, to animals and people - we all felt demolished.
