“Changing how we eat will not be enough, on its own, to save the planet, but we cannot save the planet without changing how we eat.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast

“We can choose to make changes, or we can be subject to other changes--mass migration, disease, armed conflict, a greatly diminished quality of life--but there is no future without change. The luxury of choosing which changes we prefer has an expiration date.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast

“There are only two reactions to climate change: resignation or resistance. We can submit to death, or we can use the prospect of death to emphasize life.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
― Jean-Paul Sartre
