Charlotte McConaghy
“He said our lives mean nothing except as a cycle of regeneration, that we are incomprehensibly brief sparks, just as the animals are, that we are no more important than they are, no more worthy of life than any living creature. That in our self-importance, in our search for meaning, we have forgotten how to share the planet that gave us life.”
Charlotte McConaghy, Migrations

Richard Powers
“Earth had two kinds of people: those who could do the math and follow the science, and those who were happier with their own truths. But in our hearts’ daily practice, whatever schools we went to, we all lived as if tomorrow would be a clone of now.”
Richard Powers, Bewilderment

Charlotte McConaghy
“The only true threat to birds that has ever existed is us.”
Charlotte McConaghy, Migrations

Charlotte McConaghy
“We are, all of us, given such a brief moment of time together, it hardly seems fair. But it’s precious, and maybe it’s enough, and maybe it’s right that our bodies dissolve into the earth, giving our energy back to it, feeding the little creatures in the ground and giving nutrients to the soil, and maybe it’s right that our consciousness rests. The thought is peaceful.”
Charlotte McConaghy, Migrations

Richard Powers
“Deforestation: a bigger changer of climate than all of transportation put together.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory
