With every choice you risk the life you would have had; with every decision, you lose it.

I do not exist to impress the world. I exist to live my life in a way that will make me happy.

We [people] have the power to destroy ourselves as well as the environment. As a species we love what I'd call brinks-person-ship, going right to the edge of disaster and somehow managing to pull back and recover.
