“Water problems in the western United States, when viewed from afar, can seem tantalizingly easy to solve: all we need to do is turn off the fountains at the Bellagio, stop selling hay to China, ban golf, cut down the almond trees, and kill all the lawyers.”
David Owen, Where the Water Goes: Life and Death Along the Colorado River

Mary Roach
“Californians are like, 'Lions are everywhere now!'" What's on the rise are home security cameras. Doorbell cameras are the mammograms of wildlife biology.”
Mary Roach, Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law

Peggy Orenstein
“The beauty was just mind-boggling for this English girl...It was like being in your own national park, but without the signs telling you what you're supposed to think.”
Peggy Orenstein, Unraveling: What I Learned About Life While Shearing Sheep, Dyeing Wool, and Making the World's Ugliest Sweater

Nigel Poor
“If I could be any animal, I would be a wish dragon that would only appear when a kid needed it. Based on my experience with imaginary friends, they're needed. But dragons eat meat, and I couldn't do that. So I'd have to be a vegetarian dragon; a thin dragon, because I'd spend a lot of time looking for food. That's a ton of carrots, apples, oranges...Unless I was a tiny, baby dragon. Then I'd just need, like, a little slice of cheese.”
Nigel Poor, This Is Ear Hustle: Unflinching Stories of Everyday Prison Life
