John Burnside Zitate

Im Laufe der Zeit werden wir erkennen müssen, dass es nicht die "Natur" ist, die wir schützen müssen, sondern wir selbst. Dies können wir nur tun, indem wir die alten, grandiosen, gewinnstrebenden Systeme aufgeben, die bei unseren Meistern so beliebt sind und lernen, zu bestellen den Boden leben, maßstabsgerecht leben und innerhalb unserer Möglichkeiten leben.

We don't woo our wives with clubs. We don't leave old folks on ice floes. And maybe the time has come to quit diving into rip tides to save people we don't know. We've outgrown a lot of survival-of-the-fittest strategies, and risking our lives for strangers might be one of them.
