Some climate models say the Arctic will be ice-free during the summer by the end of the century; a few predict this much sooner. — Tim Marshall

You never know how and when it ends — Stana Katic

Let me say it openly: we are surrounded by an enterprise of degradation, cruelty, and killing which rivals anything the Third Reich was capable of, indeed dwarfs it, in that ours is an enterprise without end, self-regenerating, bringing rabbits, rats, poultry, livestock ceaselessly into the world for the purpose of killing them. — J. M. Coetzee

A single thread of self generation ties the cosmos, the bios, and the technos together into one creation.

Life is like watching Fast and the Furious 6.

I am open to the accusation that I see compost as an end it itself. But we do grow some real red damn tomatoes such as you can't get in the stores.

Knowledge can be heady stuff, but it easily leads to an excess of zeal! -- to illusions of grandeur and a desire to impress others and achieve eminence . . .

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own. — Bertrand Russell
We don't actually have rich and poor together instead we have a family. What does it mean? If you have resources, you hold them with open hands.
