Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.
Arundhati Roy

She might have been breathing then, but she’s screaming now.

Hey, a quote thread!
 

Of course I am going to do an anime quote. 

We evolve, beyond the person that we were a minute before. Little by little, we advance with each turn.

-Simon, Gurren Lagann.


Every day, become more than you were the day before.

I think we homo sapiens give too much credit to our environmental destruction capacity. Earth will always endure. Our existence is just a blip in the time scale. An anomaly in evolution that's gonna learn it the hard way soon. Once we're gone, max a century left, it's back to business for the planet and other species after a sabbatical for healing. The stuff we speak about saving earth is just egotistic. We are just scramming to save our own asses.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers -

That perches in the soul-

And sings the tune without the words -

And never stops - at all -

 

And the sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -

The sore must be the storm -

That could abash the little Bird -

That kept so many warm -

 

I've heard it in the chilliest land -

And on the strangest Sea -

Yet - never - in Extremity -

It asked a crumb - of me

"The thing I hate the most about advertising is that it attracts all the bright, creative and ambitious young people, leaving us mainly with the slow and self-obsessed to become our artists.. Modern art is a disaster area. Never in the field of human history has so much been used by so many to say so little." ~ Banksy

Comment over article about protecting the quickly evaporating Great Salt Lake.

 

"You've got a point. If corporations are now considered people under the law, why not ecosystems?"

Because corporations are not people and cannot be people. Any law that allows for such an absurdity is not a law, it is a lie backed by the force of a powerful state.

GANDALF, The Two Towers: Look to my coming on the first light, of the fifth day, at dawn look to the east

 

HALLELUJAH SONG, Jeff Buckley version

Well I heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"

[Chorus]
Hallelujah
 
[Verse 2]
Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya

And she tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah


[Chorus]
Hallelujah

[Verse 3]
Well, baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah


[Chorus]
Hallelujah

Leonard Cohen.  One of the absolute greatest of song writers. The lyrics of Closing Time and Tower of Song still give me the chills.

Love Cohen's Closing Time, and the video for it is good too.
