Quote by Derrick Jensen

“It will be very hard. You’ll make a million mistakes, and you’ll pay for them all, one way or another. But the hard parts will be your parts, they won’t be hard parts other people have imposed on you for their own reasons, or maybe for no reason at all. And your ownership of them – your responsibility to and for them – makes all the difference in the world.”

In search of some noise. Everything around me is so dead silent that sometimes it feels like a never ending nightmare.”
