Political history is far too criminal and pathological to be a fit subject of study for the young. Children should acquire their heroes and villains from fiction. – W.H. Auden, A Certain World
In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour. – Stefan Zweig
The environmental movement, like all political processes, reacts best to disasters. But these are very slow, very gradual disasters in the making. – Ted Danson
