“We are so materially well off, yet so psychologically tormented in so many low-level and shallow ways. People relinquish all responsibility, demanding that society cater to their feelings and sensibilities. People hold on to arbitrary certainties and try to enforce them on others, often violently, in the name of some made-up righteous cause. People, high on a sense of false superiority, fall into inaction and lethargy for fear of trying something worthwhile and failing at it.”

“Before the power of Nature, its inescapable presence and fixed dominion, all men and women are as mice in the talons of the hawk.

But on our homestead, the wilderness ran right up to the front door.”
― Olivia Hawker, One for the Blackbird, One for the Crow

“And thank God she wasn’t one of them. Danica squinted. “Wha’ Starbucks?”
