Quotes by Christine Figgener (?)

“Optimismus ist eine Entscheidung. Mich selbst würde ich als kritisch-optimistisch bezeichnen: Ich glaube fest daran, dass es in Zukunft besser werden kann – ansonsten könnte ich mir gleich die Kugel geben –, aber ich lebe nicht in dem Irrglauben, dass es von allein besser wird. Uns steht immer noch harte Arbeit bevor.”
― Christine Figgener, Meine Reise mit den Meeresschildkröten: Wie ich als Meeresbiologin für unsere Ozeane kämpfe
