“Forward, I pray, since we have come so far,
And be it moon, or sun, or what you please.
And if you please to call it a rush candle,
Henceforth I vow it shall be so for me.”

“Hope just means another world might be possible, not promise, not guaranteed. Hope calls for action; action is impossible without hope.”

“You are currently living in a world in which the human ability to create garbage—or eventual garbage—has surpassed Earth’s ability to generate life.”
