Quote by Derek J. Taylor

“There’s one thing about being a worrier, you’re prepared to go to mind-torturing lengths to worry today today on the off-chance it will avoid an even worse worry tomorrow. The alternative would be not to fret today as the catastrophe is unlikely to happen tomorrow.”

“Sea World orcas work as many as eight shows a day, 365 days a year. In the ocean, these whales can swim up to ninety miles a day. In captivity, the tanks are measured in feet. In the ocean, orcas have highly evolved and cohesive matriarchal cultures. Generations of family members, combining both females and males, spend their entire lives together—with each family, or pod, communicating its own unique dialect. In captivity, little to none of this exists. Orca culture is effectively destroyed.”

“Tussen opa's laatste woorden en zijn eerste had hij maar één regel opengelaten. '...heb jij dat ook: om drie, vier uur 's nachts wakker worden en alle, alle zorgen van jezelf en iedereen op je borst voelen drukken. Of nee, bij mij begint het lager: in de maag. Knagend gevoel, wat is het, onbehagen over hoe 't met ons gaat, of angst over hoe 't met ons zal aflopen. De kleinste muizenissen opgeblazen tot wereldrampen.”

“I should have listened to my own inner voice. My fear of relaxing lived within me for a reason. Anxiety and stress were necessary tools for survival. My vigilance had always kept me and the ones I loved safe. And then I let myself be lulled into dropping my guard, all for science. Tricked into finding serenity. Manipulated into thinking that being a human was anything more than pure and simple weakness and mediocrity. And now what did I have? A dead husband.”
