“Journalists claim to be hearing “both sides” as though a binary opposition had been set down by some disinterested god. But it is the journalists themselves who are playing god—it is the journalists who decide which sides are legitimate and which are not, which views shall be considered and which pushed out of the frame.”

“One way to make sense of the biodiversity crisis would simply be to accept it. The history of life has, after all, been punctuated by extinction events, both big and very big. The impact that brought an end to the Cretaceous wiped out something like seventy-five percent of all species on earth. No one wept for them, and eventually, new species evolved to take their place. But for whatever reason--call it biophilia, call it care for God's creation, call it heart stopping fear--people are reluctant to be the asteroid.”

“Just because some of what led Earth to this crisis is our fault, yours mine, doesn't mean we can't still do real good. We're still here. Alive. We have the ability to act, and choose, and achieve. That's real. Even if it seems dwarfed by past mistakes, those mistakes aren't a negative number, they don't cancel out the good things we do now, don't make an insurmountable pit we have to climb back out of to start at zero. We can do good, and our pasts don't take that possibility away, not while we still live and breathe. And try.”

“As he walks with the crowd, he understands what he had forgotten: that a march is not just a voice against violence and trauma, but also a reminder that even in a cause that is stacked against them, no one is alone.”

“We are educated Colombo Tamils. We must be careful and not attract
attention. You understand, no?’
You think of the lottery of birth and how everything else is
mythology, stories the ego tells itself to justify fortune or explain away
injustice. You wonder if you should hold your tongue.
‘Uncle, this country was inherited by arrack-swillers who sent their
children to British schools. Mostly Sinhala – but not all. What they all
were was Colombians. And being an English-speaking Colombian
exempts us from the rest of this country’s sufferings.’
‘I didn’t know there were Marxists left in this country,’ says Stanley,
giving you the fakest of smiles as he rises to leave.”
― The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
