Quotes by Krista Marson (?)

“I generally don't harbor good feelings about the future health of our planet. I am not a fan of the fact that Earth's fate does not lie in the hands of scientists, environmentalists, conservationists, or even artists but rather lies in the hands of the powers that be.”

“I have a saying that there only exists one answer to every question, and that answer is money. In the future, that answer may change to water when there is no more fresh water left to drink, but for now, the answer is always money, for money is the root cause of everything.”

“I'll never forget how the gray October light reflected off the glass and filled the space with a weight that didn't seem to befit the room. I knew that the Treaty of Versailles was signed in that mirrored hallway, and with that gray light, it seemed as though the World War I era was still ensconced in there.”
