Book cover for Seeds of Hope: Wisdom and Wonder from the World of Plants
A recent inventory lists 298,000 different plant species (and 611,000 species of mushrooms, molds, and other fungi). And the authors reckon that as many as 86 percent of all plant and animal species on land, and up to 91 percent in the ...more

Neil deGrasse Tyson
“The four most common chemically active elements in the universe—hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen—are the four most common elements of life on Earth. We are not simply in the universe. The universe is in us.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Space Chronicles: Facing the Ultimate Frontier

Carl Sagan
“If we are not graced with an instinctive knowledge of how to make our technologized world a safe and balanced ecosystem, we must figure out how to do it. We need more scientific research and more technological restraint. It is probably too much to hope that some great Ecosystem Keeper in the sky will reach down and put right our environmental abuses. It is up to us. It should not be impossibly difficult. Birds—whose intelligence we tend to malign—know not to foul the nest. Shrimps with brains the size of lint particles know it. Algae know it. One-celled microorganisms know it. It is time for us to know it too.”
Carl Sagan, Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life & Death at the Brink of the Millennium

Miguel Ruiz
“The angel of death comes to us and says, “You see everything that exists here is mine; it is not yours. Your house, your spouse, your children, your car, your career, your money — everything is mine and I can take it away when I want to, but for now you can use it.”
Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

Carl Sagan
“In little countries and big countries, capitalist countries and communist countries, Catholic countries and Moslem countries, Western countries and Eastern countries—in almost all these cases, exponential population growth slows down or stops when grinding poverty disappears. This is called the demographic transition. It is in the urgent long-term interest of the human species that every place on Earth achieves this demographic transition. This is why helping other countries to become self-sufficient is not only elementary human decency, but is also in the self-interest of those richer nations able to help.”
Carl Sagan, Billions & Billions: Thoughts on Life & Death at the Brink of the Millennium

Emily X.R. Pan
“Once upon a time we were the standard colors of a rainbow, cheery and certain of ourselves. At some point, we all began to stumble into the in-betweens, the murky colors made dark and complicated by resentment and quiet anger.  At some point, my mother slid so off track she sank into hues of gray, a world drawn only in shadows.”
Emily X.R. Pan, The Astonishing Color of After
