“I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance”
― E.E. Cummings

“The world, I realized, brimmed even fuller with life than I had expected, rich with the souls of tiny creatures who may love their lives as much as we love ours.”
― Sy Montgomery, How To Be A Good Creature: A Memoir in Thirteen Animals

“To be human is to confuse a satisfying story with a meaningful one, and to mistake life for something huge with two legs. No: life is mobilized on a vastly larger scale, and the world is failing precisely because no novel can make the contest for the world seem as compelling as the struggles between a few lost people.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory
