We should conceive of ourselves not as rulers of Earth, but as highly powerful, conscious stewards: The Earth is given to us in trust, and we can screw it up or make it work well and sustainably.

Sad but true: individual intelligence probably peaked in the Upper Paleolithic, and we have been self-domesticated creatures ever since

Each of us have a gift, you see, given us freely by the universe. And each of us with every breath gives something back

The distinguishing mark of true adventures, is that it is often no fun at all while they are actually happening.

Every moment an epiphany arrives and cleaves the mountain asunder

We should conceive of ourselves not as rulers of Earth, but as highly powerful, conscious stewards: The Earth is given to us in trust, and we can screw it up or make it work well and sustainably.
