"The most common words I hear spoken by environmentalists
anywhere are, 'We're f*cked'. ...People sometimes ask me,
'If things are so bad, why don't you just kill yourself?' The
answer is that life is really, really good. I am a complex
enough being that I can hold in my heart the understanding
that we are really, really f*cked, and at the same time that
life is really, really good. I am full of rage, sorrow, joy,
love, hate, despair, happiness, satisfaction, dissatisfaction,
and a thousand other feelings. We are really f*cked.
Life is still really good." -- from Beyond Hope,

"Most of the important things in the world have been

when there seemed to be no hope at all." -- Dale Carnegie
