"I believe no energy system will solve our problems since the problems come from within us and not from our turbines."
"I believe in red wine. And the scent of women. And the nuzzles of all dogs of all ages."
"I believe the politics of the right and left matter not at all to the bird on the wing or the trees dying on the hillsides."
From "Some Of The Dead Are Still Breathing" by Charles Bowden.
By the way, I snuck a couple of more books in when you weren't looking.
"The Thin Man" by Dashiell Hammett. Written in 1933. A wealthy couple that solves crimes. Fanf***ingtastic. Probably quite scandalous for the times because besides solving crimes all this couple does is sleep late and drink. They are irreverent and independent. Nick and Nora Charles.
Great quote: Nora - "Would you like breakfast?" Nick - "It's too early for breakfast. Fix me a drink."
"The House Of Sand And Fog" by Andre Dubus III. Tremendous and tragic story involving middle eastern culture running into American prejudice and stupidity. Broken lives, misunderstandings, cruelty, hope and the death of hope, murder and suicide. Heavy.
See you later.
