“I challenge us to change, because as Charles Darwin once observed, 'It is not the strongest species that will survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.'”

Pave my days with the sneaky breeze so I can taste the details of an ordinary moment Because I do not want to name the obelisks or to drink from the labels of your noisy tongue Naked I will bear the climbing free from the weight of a face and a name.

“Every kid starts out as a natural-born scientist, and then we beat it out of them. A few trickle through the system with their wonder and enthusiasm for science intact.”

“I am tired of world, these people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.”

Mary Oliver reading "Wild Geese"

Wild Geese

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting — over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

“Tu mesmo,  que vagou por planetas antigos e sem nomes  ansiando domar o imperceptível  só para olhar pra trás e querer nomear a estrada  Toda essa gente não te impressiona  Sabem o nome de todas as pedras  mas não compreendem nenhum fenômeno.”

“What came first, the music or the misery? People worry about kids playing with guns, or watching violent videos, that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands, literally thousands of songs about heartbreak, rejection, pain, misery and loss. Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"- Rob Gordon”
