Personal Quote"If you can keep your head about you when all about you are losing theirs, it's possible you just haven't grasped the situation."
——Jean Kerr, playwright

"All humans should carry a medal,
A god cannot carry it, he is not able. "
——Stevie Smith

"We should be the heart and mind of the Earth, not its malady. So let us be brave and cease thinking of human needs and rights alone, and see that we have harmed the living Earth and need to make our peace with Gaia. We must do it while we are still strong enough to negotiate, and not a broken rabble led by brutal war lords. Most of all, we should remember that we are a part of it, and it is indeed our home."
——James Lovelock

"What is happening was unthinkable in ages gone by. We now control forces that once controlled us,... For the first time we can intervene directly in the genetic process... dissolve the ozone layer... destroy the complex pattern of life in the seas.... In the end the human community will flourish or decline as the earth and the community of living species flourishes or declines."
——Thomas Berry

"Civilization exists by geologic consent, subject to change without notice."
——Will Durant

"Ahead of us lie dangerous times. There are serious problems that derive from the realities of the external world: climate change, loss of biological diversity, new and re-emerging diseases, and more. Many of these threats are not yet immediate, yet their nonlinear character is such that we need to be acting today. And we have no evolutionary experience of acting on behalf of a distant future; we even lack basic understanding of important aspects of our own institutions and societies. Sadly, for many, the response is to retreat from complexity and difficulty by embracing the darkness of fundamentalist unreason."
——Robert McCredie, Lord May of Oxford

"For real hope, as distinguished from wishful thinking, we should first look, not to our technological cleverness or abstractions about progress of one kind or another, but rather to the extent and depth of our affections, which set boundaries to what we do and direct our intelligence to better or worse possibilities. The possibility of affection for our children, place, posterity and life is in all of us. It is part of our evolutionary heritage. It is embedded in all of our best religious teachings. And it is now a matter of simple self-interest that we come to realise the full extent of the obligations that arise from an alert, thorough and far-sighted affection."
—— David W. Orr (Professor, Environmental Studies & Politics, Oberlin College)

"On the dogmas of religion, as distinguished from the moral principles, all mankind, from the beginning of the world to this day, have been quarreling, fighting, burning and torturing one another, for abstractions unintelligible to themselves and to all others, and absolutely beyond the comprehension of the human mind."
—— Thomas Jefferson

"Only a fool mistakes kindness for weakness."

ReligionIn the words of Richard Feynman (Nobel Physics Laureate, 1965):
"I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about."
