You know you're walking around with a mask on, and you desperately want to take it off and you can't because everybody else thinks it's your face.
Humanity's greatest challenge may soon be just making it to the next harvest.
Saving civilization is not a spectator sport.
One way or another, the choice will be made by our generation, but it will affect life on earth for all generations to come
Among the environmental trends undermining our future are shrinking forests, expanding deserts, falling water tables, collapsing fisheries, disappearing species, and rising temperatures. The temperature increases bring crop-withering heat waves, more-destructive storms, more-intense droughts, more forest fires, and, of course, ice melting. We are crossing natural thresholds that we cannot see and violating deadlines that we do not recognize.
No civilization has survived the ongoing destruction of its natural support systems. Nor will ours.
Today, more than ever, we need political leaders who can see the big picture, who understand the relationship between the economy and its environmental support systems.
Mastery is in the reaching, not in the arriving.
Understanding is by the flame of the passions never enlightened, but dazzled.
You marry your friends when you stay with your friends. It's hard enough to find a good roommate, let alone a good person you can live with and fall in love with at the same time. You might as well just take your roommate, if you can find one, and marry them. I mean, if you can find somebody that doesn't drive you crazy, I would say marry that.
You’re not the only one who’s loyal and decent, Ture. It’s why I won’t betray Darling. He wouldn’t betray me and I know it. When someone really loves you, they find a way to get to you, even in the darkest night, against all odds. Through the worst nightmares, they are there, holding your hand. They’re there to stand with you to the end. I don’t just believe that. I know it. - Zarya Starska
