A Realistic Optimist - John Muir





An optimist isn't necessarily a blithe, sappy whistler in the dark. To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. If we remember those times and places where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us energy to act and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction.
Howard Zinn


 
When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it attached to the rest of the world.
