Quote by Colum McCann

“Who can say where anything truly begins? The cloud, the raindrop, the original speck of dust around which water collects? We can only ever locate the middle when we get to the end. And then, at the absolute end, what’s the point in finding the middle, or even the beginning?”

“Most people won't bat an eyelid when they hear about PFAS in rainwater. Why? Because they will tell you that they drink bottled water. That's when you tell them that rainwater waters their flowers, their vegetables, their livestock, our waterways and rivers. We eat the vegetables. We consume the livestock. We fry the fish and swim in the waterways & oceans. Rainwater goes everywhere and douses everything in moisture. It's already in our blood streams and in our lungs and even if you tried to stop breathing & ingesting it, we couldn't because it's everywhere. A half life of 3-4 years may not be a long period of time, but how do you stop what you can't?”
