Me: Madam, young people are the ONLY people who fully grasp the seriousness of climate change.

Abbas Kiarostami, from “A Wolf Lying in Wait; Poems,” published c. 2015
“The first thing to realize, if you wish to become a philosopher, is that most people go through life with a whole world of beliefs that have no sort of rational justification, and that one man’s world of beliefs is apt to be incompatible with another man’s, so that they cannot both be right. People’s opinions are mainly designed to make them feel comfortable; truth, for most people is a secondary consideration.”
— Bertrand Russell, The Art of Philosophizing
“As time goes on, you’ll understand. What lasts, lasts; what doesn’t, doesn’t. Time solves most things. And what time can’t solve, you have to solve yourself. Is that too much to ask?”
— Haruki Murakami, Dance Dance Dance (via naturaekos)
