“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

“One has to spend so many years in learning how to be happy. I am just beginning to make some progress in the science, and I hope to disprove Young's theory that "as soon as we have found the key of life it opes the gates of death." Every year strips us of at least one vain expectation, and teaches us to reckon some solid good in its stead. I never will believe that our youngest days are our happiest. What a miserable augury for the progress of the race and the destination of the individual if the more matured and enlightened state is the less happy one!” IfsYearsBelieveStatesYoungFoundIndividualRaceTeachProgressTheoryKeysExpectationsMiserableVainEnlightenedDestinationGatesMaturedHow To Be Happy Book:The George Eliot Letters: 1836-1851 Source: The George Eliot Letters: 1836-1851
“Did you ever notice, when you are sitting at a red light, that when the person in front of you pulls up a couple of inches, you are compelled to move up too? Do we really think we are making progress toward our destination?
