Barbara Kingsolver
“Three hundred fifty parts per million,” he replied. “The number of carbon molecules the atmosphere can hold, and still maintain the ordinary thermal balance. It’s an important figure.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Flight Behavior

Liza Palmer
“That’s what they don’t tell you about getting older—it’s not the invisibility or the aches and pains that kill you. Instead, it’s that incrementally, and over a span of just a few years, you are perceived to be less and less useful to the world. And the belief that you’re slipping begins to calcify into the fear that, if you’re no longer good at something, then maybe you’re not good for anything. And then why are you still here?”
Liza Palmer, Family Reservations

May Sarton
“The moral dilemma is to make peace with the unacceptable”
May Sarton

May Sarton
“Does anything in nature despair except man? An animal with a foot caught in a trap does not seem to despair. It is too busy trying to survive. It is all closed in, to a kind of still, intense waiting. Is this a key? Keep busy with survival. Imitate the trees. Learn to lose in order to recover, and remember that nothing stays the same for long, not even pain, psychic pain. Sit it out. Let it all pass. Let it go.”
May Sarton, Journal of a Solitude

May Sarton
“Public education was not founded to give society what it wants. Quite the opposite.”
May Sarton
