Book cover for The Anthropocene Reviewed
For me anyway, to fall in love with the world is to look up at the night sky and feel your mind swim before the beauty and the distance of the stars.

Brigid Kemmerer
“We are all dealt a hand at birth. A good hand can ultimately lose - just as a poor hand can win - but we must all play the cards the fate deals. The choices we face may not be the choices we want, but they are choices nonetheless.”
Brigid Kemmerer, A Curse So Dark and Lonely

John  Green
“We live in between what we choose and what is chosen for us.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

John  Green
“Framing illness as even involving morality seems to me a mistake, because of course cancer does not give a shit whether you are a good person. Biology has no moral compass. It does not punish the evil and reward the good. It doesn’t even know about evil and good.

Stigma is a way of saying, “You deserved to have this happen,” but implied within the stigma is also, “And I don’t deserve it, so I don’t need to worry about it happening to me.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

Ray Bradbury
“Don’t look to be saved in any one thing, person, machine, or library. Do your own bit of saving, and if you drown, at least die knowing you were headed for shore.”
Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

John  Green
“Nothing is so privileged as thinking history belongs to the past.”
John Green, Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection
