“So remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up. Unleash your imagination. Shape the future.”
Stephen Hawking, Brief Answers to the Big Questions

Jonathan Safran Foer
“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

Jonathan Safran Foer
“We cannot keep the kinds of meals we have known and also keep the planet we have known. We must either let some eating habits go or let the planet go. It is that straightforward, that fraught.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, We Are the Weather: Saving the Planet Begins at Breakfast

Antonio Gramsci
“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”
Antonio Gramsci

Jonathan Safran Foer
“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
