“To be a birder is to fall in love. Obsessively, irrevocably and, perhaps, foolishly. This love, it creeps up on you. A wedge-tailed eagle slices through the sky. A magpie’s liquid song pierces the dawn. A snowy owl gazes unblinking across the tundra. So, here’s to the birdwatchers, those optimistic, slightly eccentric custodians of wonder and joy and passion and love. Because sometimes it is as simple as opening your eyes, stepping outside and looking upon the world around you.” InspirationalBeautifulJoyNatureEnvironmentBest QuotesBirdsBirdwatcherBirder Book:Nature's Last Dance: Tales of Wonder in an Age of Extinction Source: Nature's Last Dance: Tales of Wonder in an Age of Extinction
“They march in the streets and the classrooms and the courtrooms and the parliaments and the boardrooms, and we thought they would stop, but they didn’t. We thought they would grow tired, but still they didn’t. They grew louder and louder until every corner of the world heard their demand: a planet they can live on. That’s what they want, and they keep saying it, and they won’t stop saying it.” InspirationalChildrenNatureEnvironmentClimate ChangeActivismProtestPopular Quotes Book:Nature's Last Dance: Tales of Wonder in an Age of Extinction Source: Nature's Last Dance: Tales of Wonder in an Age of Extinction
