Shwetabh Gangwar
“Stop attaching maturity, wisdom, enlightenment to ageing. He is old, hence he must be wise is one of the stupidest notions we take for granted.”
Shwetabh Gangwar, The Rudest Book Ever

Warren Berger
“Why?”. Neurological research shows that merely wondering about an interesting question activates regions of the brain linked to reward-processing. Curiosity—the act of wondering—feels good in and of itself, and thus, questions beget more questions. Think of curiosity as a condition—“like an itch,” says the neuroscientist Charan Ranganath.”
Warren Berger, The Book of Beautiful Questions: The Powerful Questions That Will Help You Decide, Create, Connect, and Lead

Micah Nemerever
“But when they were alone, he could promise himself that he and Julian were each other's birthright, and that the only unnatural thing was the fact that their blood was divided between two bodies. He could believe that even calling it "sex" was incorrect, because it wasn't about anything so shallow as physical desire. They wanted each other in the way of flesh wanting to knit itself together over a wound.”
Micah Nemerever, These Violent Delights

Adonis
“What shall I say to the body I abandoned
in the rubble of the house
in which I was born?”
Adonis, Adonis: Selected Poems

Robin Wall Kimmerer
“Let’s remember that the “System” is led by individuals, by a relatively small number of people, who have names, with more money than God and certainly less compassion. They sit in boardrooms deciding to exploit fossil fuels for short-term gain while the world burns. They know the science, they know the consequences, but they proceed with ecocidal business as usual and do it anyway. Their behavior feels to me like the same kind of arrogant entitlement as Darren the Farm Stand thief or Darren the Planet Wrecker. They’re all thieves, stealing our future, while we pass around the zucchini.”
Robin Wall Kimmerer, The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World
