“We normalize the abnormal, and accept the unacceptable. Remember that more than 80 percent of people live under light polluted skies, and two-thirds of Europeans are immersed in noise equivalent to constant rainfall. Many people have no idea what true darkness or quiet feels like. Within that inexperience, vicious cycles begin to spin. As we desecrate sensory environments, we become accustomed to the results. As we push the animals away, we get used to their absence. As the problems of sensory pollution grow, our willingness to address it subsides. How do we solve a problem that we don’t realize exists?”

“For to be human, at its core, is to question and quest. To seek answers about who we are. Even when--or especially when--those answers are beyond our grasp. And what I have learned is that sometimes that search leads us to the darkest places imaginable. In those times, we need each other to find our way back home. To remember who we are. But after we find our way back to the light, we must remember to reach even higher next time. To look farther. To explore the greatest mysteries and follow the craziest stories...and toward what is possible.”

“The news presents only the bad side of humanity, Mr. Blade, and it does it on a global scale. It doesn't report the millions of small, unreported acts of kindness that take place on a daily basis in communities. People help old ladies across the street, they bring their neighbors tea when they're sick. You don't hear about it because good news isn't entertainment, even though it's those deeds that hold society together. Bad news is a commodity and the media trade in that.”
