“In view of the immense power of natural weather and climate fluctuations and the great buffering capacity of the Earth, especially the ocean, it is easy to be skeptical about whether small anthropogenic changes of atmospheric composition can have important practical impacts.” ImportantEarthEasyNaturalViewsOceanCapacityImpactClimatePracticalsWeatherImmenseCompositionSkepticalFluctuation Author:James Hansen
“We, all of us in the First World, have participated in something of a binge, a half century of unbelievable prosperity and ease. We may have had some intuition that it was a binge and the earth couldn't support it, but aside from the easy things (biodegradable detergent, slightly smaller cars) we didn't do much. We didn't turn our lives around to prevent it. Our sadness is almost an aesthetic response - appropriate because we have marred a great, mad, profligate work of art, taken a hammer to the most perfectly proportioned of sculptures.” WorldFirstsMayArtEarthTurnsEasyHalfSupportTakenOur LivesSadnessCenturyCarMadResponseProsperityIntuitionEaseAppropriateWorks Of ArtAestheticConsumerismUnbelievableSculptureHammersOverconsumptionEasy ThingsBingeBiodegradable Author:Bill McKibben
“Is it not easy to conceive the World in your Mind? To think the Heavens fair? The Sun Glorious? The Earth fruitful? The Air Pleasant? The Sea Profitable? And the Giver bountiful? Yet these are the things which it is difficult to retain. For could we always be sensible of their use and value, we should be always delighted with their wealth and glory.” ThinkingWorldShouldMindUseEarthValuesHeavenEasyDifficultWealthSunAirSeaGloryFairsEnvironmentalPleasantGloriousSensibleProfitableGiverDelighted Book:Centuries of Meditations Source: Centuries of Meditations
“We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road - the one less traveled by - offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.” LongTwoEndsEarthLastsLyingEasyWomenNatureChanceProgressOffersFairsClimate ChangeFeministSpeedDisasterFamiliarEmpoweringDestinationSmoothTraveledPreservationFrostForksSilent SpringFork In The RoadTwo Roads Author:Rachel Carson
“There is the past and its continuing horrors: violence, war, prejudices against those who are different, outrageous monopolization of the good earth's wealth by a few, political power in the hands of liars and murderers, the building of prisons instead of schools, the poisoning of the press and the entire culture by money. It is easy to become discouraged observing this, especially since this is what the press and television insist that we look at, and nothing more.” LooksDifferentWarHandsSchoolEarthPastPoliticalCultureEasyWealthViolenceTelevisionBuildingHorrorPrejudicePressesPrisonLiarsContinuingMurdererDiscouragedObservingOutrageousPolitical PowerPoisoningGood Earth Book:A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present Source: A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present
“I suppose I knew on an intellectual level that graves weren't especially made for getting out of. I mean, you start with a hermetically sealed casket and then you dump six feet of dirt on top of it. Over time the earth gets compacted, which can't make it easy to dig through. So even if you're a very angry and determined zombie, you've kind of got your work cut out for you just escaping from the grave.” IfsKindMeanMadeEarthEasyLevelsCuttingFeetSixIntellectualAngryDeterminedGravesDirtZombieEscapingDumpCaskets Book:Walking Dead Source: Walking Dead
“I always get a little bit pissed off when stand-up comedy is not recognised as being as good a craft as being an actor. We give Oscars to people and it's like, 'Aw, this person is the greatest person on earth', but being an actor is pretty easy in comparison to stand-up comedy. It's no surprise that several stand-up comics have gone on to become great actors. I don't know any great actors that have gone on to become great stand-up comics.” PeopleKnowsGivingLittlesPersonsEarthActorsEasyBitsGoneComedyLittle BitSurpriseCraftsComparisonOscarsGreat ActorsPissed OffStand Up Comedy Author:Jim Jefferies
