“In planting trees, aim to perpetuate an ecosystem, not a plantation.”
Daniel Mathews, Trees in Trouble: Wildfires, Infestations, and Climate Change

Maggie Downs
“When the road stretches long and dark and ragged, it’s sweetness that remains at the end of it.”
Maggie Downs, Braver Than You Think: Around the World on the Trip of My (Mother’s) Lifetime

Maggie Downs
“Nobody warned me about this part. When I envisioned my trip, I imagined exciting adventures, exotic locales, a jet-set lifestyle. I never thought grief and doubt would climb into my backpack and come with me. I pictured standing at the top of the Sun Gate, looking down at Machu Picchu, without ever thinking about the steps it would take to get there. This is the curse of wanderlust, when the postcard image becomes a brutal reality.”
Maggie Downs, Braver Than You Think: Around the World on the Trip of My (Mother’s) Lifetime

Ruth Prawer Jhabvala
“You have to believe me without proof. That's what faith is — believing without proof.'

They retraced their steps back to the house where his car was parked, and when they passed through the blighted orchard, he picked up an apple for her and she ate it. She didn't even have to look; she knew it would be whole, without worms or decay.”
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, At the End of the Century: The Stories of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala

“It enumerates six planks, six varied spheres of activity--one economic, one regultory, one militant, one educational, one inspirational, one sweet Kumbaya--for putting our fractured Humpty Dumpty of a society back together again.

And so we must. And so we shall.”
Bob Garfield, American Manifesto: Saving Democracy From Villains, Vandals, and Ourselves
