“In a conversation on Twitter, a doctor said to me: I do anesthesia for a living, done it for hundreds of tubals I’m sure. I often think: WTF is wrong with the husband? Except when part of a C-section, tubals should be rare. Vasectomies are cheap, low-pain, extremely safe, and highly effective. Why are tubals also a burden that women must carry? An additional point: there has never been a documented death from a vasectomy. However, many women have died from anesthetic or surgical complications from a tubal ligation.”
Gabrielle Stanley Blair, Ejaculate Responsibly: A Whole New Way to Think About Abortion

“I don't mind worriers," I said. "Worrying is the correct worldview. Life is worrisome.”
John Green, Turtles All the Way Down

Terry Tempest Williams
“Wilderness is the source of what we can imagine and what we cannot- the taproot of consciousness.

It will survive us.”
Terry Tempest Williams, The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks

Terry Tempest Williams
“This is what we can promise the future: a legacy of care. That we will be good stewards and not take too much or give back too little, that we will recognize wild nature for what it is, in all its magnificent and complex history - an unfathomable wealth that should be consciously saved, not ruthlessly spent. Privilege is what we inherit by our status as Homo sapiens living on this planet. This is the privilege of imagination. What we choose to do with our privilege as a species is up to each of us.

Humility is born in wildness. We are not protecting grizzlies from extinction; they are protecting us from the extinction of experience as we engage with a world beyond ourselves. The very presence of a grizzly returns us to an ecology of awe. We tremble at what appears to be a dream yet stands before us on two legs and roars.”
Terry Tempest Williams, The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks

Terry Tempest Williams
“Awe is the moment when ego surrenders to wonder. This is our inheritance - the beauty before us. We cry. We cry out. There is nothing sentimental about facing the desert bare. It is a terrifying beauty.”
Terry Tempest Williams, The Hour of Land: A Personal Topography of America's National Parks
