“You can write it all down, you can put it in your book of facts, but the truth is no one can ever really understand the tangle of experiences and passions that makes you who you are. It's a secret collection, a private language, a pebble in your pocket that you play with when you're anxious.”
― Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Someone Who Will Love You in All Your Damaged Glory

“A disdain for history sets us adrift, and makes us victims of ignorance and denial. History lives in and through our bodies right now, and in every moment.”

“Were plants communicating? ...Communication implies a recognition of self and and what lies beyond it - the existence of other selves. Communication is the forming of threads between individuals. It's a way to make one life useful to other lives, to make oneself important to other selves. It turns individuals into a community.If it is true that a whole forest or field is in communication, it changes the nature of that forest or field. It changes the notion of what a plant is.”
― Zoë Schlanger, The Light Eaters: How the Unseen World of Plant Intelligence Offers a New Understanding of Life on Earth
