“Maybe she’ll learn something about what death really is, which is where the pain stops and the good memories begin. Not the end of life but the end of pain.”
― Stephen King, Pet Sematary

“Aborigines, like other indian tribes, believe that people today have less of this life energy than in the past. Because life energy is the common source between human beings and nature, the loss of it parallels the loss of connection between human beings and their relations: the plants, animals, stones, water, sky, the Earth, and all of creation. Restoring life energy to its original condition of fullness may be the key to recovering lost potentials and realizing that "the Kingdom of Heaven is in our midst.”

“A hundred years ago, we didn't have cars and airplanes and computers and vaccines. It was a whole different world. But to the Earth, 100 years is nothing. A million years is nothing. This planet lives and breathes on a much vaster scale. We can't imagine its slow and powerful rhythms and we haven't got the humility to try. We have been residents here for a blink of an eye. If we are gone tomorrow, the Earth will not miss us.

"So what are you saying? We shouldn't care about the environment?"

"No, of course not."

"Then what?"

Malcom coughed and stared into the distance. "Let's be clear, the planet is not in jeopardy, we are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the planet, or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves.”
― Michael Crichton, Jurassic Park

“Really knowing is good. Not knowing, or refusing to know is bad, or amoral, at least. You can’t act if you don’t know.”
― Ray Bradbury, Something Wicked This Way Comes
