“But then again maybe a country that routinely prefers power over strength, and living over letting live, is no country for eight-spot butterflies.”
Julian Aguon, No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies: A Lyric Essay

Quiara Alegría Hudes
“Language that aims toward perfection, she told me, is a lie. Shakespeare knew this, she said, and broke English until its dictionaries grew by a thousand entries. Tennyson knew it in 1835 when he, the Great Poet, used one word to express a vastness. Break, break, break.”
Quiara Alegría Hudes, My Broken Language

Rachel Carson
“We are rightly appalled by the genetic effects of radiation; how then, can we be indifferent to the same effect in chemicals that we disseminate widely in our environment?”
Rachel Carson, Silent Spring

“Because eyes wide with wonder is a perfectly good definition of magic. Because magic could just as easily mean stargazing, in the midday sun, while looking down. Because we had so little, yet somehow, we had it all.”
Julian Aguon, No Country for Eight-Spot Butterflies: A Lyric Essay

Jane Goodall
“Hope is often misunderstood. People tend to think that it is simply passive wishful thinking: I hope something will happen but I’m not going to do anything about it. This is indeed the opposite of real hope, which requires action and engagement.”
Jane Goodall, The Book of Hope: A Survival Guide for Trying Times
