Are we being good ancestors?          
–  Robert Macfarlane, 2019
...imagine a puddle waking up one morning and thinking, 'This is an interesting world I find myself in - an interesting hole I find myself in - fits me rather neatly, doesn't it? In fact it fits me staggeringly well, must have been made to have me in it!' This is such a powerful idea that as the sun rises in the sky and the air heats up and as, gradually, the puddle gets smaller and smaller, it's still frantically hanging on to the notion that everything's going to be alright, because this world was meant to have him in it, was built to have him in it; so the moment he disappears catches him rather by surprise.
– Douglas Adams, 1998

It's not the things you don't know
what gets you into trouble.
It's the things you do know
that just ain't so. – Will Rogers

A man hears what he wants to hear
and disregards the rest. – Paul Simon

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter.
Try again. Fail again. Fail better.
– Samuel Beckett [1]

Into the distance disappear
the mounds of human heads.
I dwindle - go unnoticed now.
But in affectionate books,
in childrens' games,
I will arise to say: the sun!
– Osip Mandelstam

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time – when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness."

— Carl Sagan 1995[1]
