Quakeland Quotes

“Imagine you’re a mayfly born on a river in Colorado. You’re around for a day. You mate and you die. Do you believe that there’s such a thing as a snowstorm? Or skyscrapers? That’s stuff you’re never going to experience. Humans are like that with respect to earth processes. As a species, we woke up five thousand years ago. We didn’t start really taking notes until a few hundred years ago or so. We’re trying to figure out things that are ten thousand times older than our collective consciousness. We’re just opening our eyes and looking around, and yet we expect to have all the answers.”
