Kathryn’s Quotes

“The current extinction has its own novel cause: not an asteroid or a massive volcanic eruption but "one weedy species.”
― Elizabeth Kolbert, The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

“Repressive societies always seemed to understand the danger of "wrong" ideas.”
― Octavia E. Butler, Kindred

“To argue that the current extinction event could be averted if people just cared more and were willing to make more sacrifices is not wrong, exactly; still, it misses the point. It doesn’t much matter whether people care or don’t care. What matters is that people change the world. This capacity predates modernity,”
― Elizabeth Kolbert, The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History

“On the other hand, constant hysteria did have one unintended political virtue. If every new event canceled out every other event, like some wacky news-cycle pyramid scheme, then you always survived another day.”
― Michael Wolff, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House

4 likes

“Here was another peculiar Trump attribute: an inability to see his actions the way most others saw them. Or to fully appreciate how people expected him to behave. The notion of the presidency as an institutional and political concept, with an emphasis on ritual and propriety and semiotic messaging—statesmanship—was quite beyond him.”
― Michael Wolff, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House
