Don’t blow it – good planets are hard to find. ~Quoted in Time
I think the environment should be put in the category of our national security. Defense of our resources is just as important as defense abroad. Otherwise what is there to defend? ~Robert Redford, Yosemite National Park dedication, 1985
Your grandchildren will likely find it incredible – or even sinful – that you burned up a gallon of gasoline to fetch a pack of cigarettes! ~Paul MacCready, Jr.

Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. ~Twyla Tharp
The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. ~William Faulkner
As the sun colors flowers, so does art color life. ~John Lubbock
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for. ~Georgia O’Keeffe

One year old you are today
And moving forward on your climb
To three and six and ten years old
Days that seem so far away
But will be here without delay.
Still there will never be a time
When innocence is more sublime
And you face brighter with love.
As you wonder
Why strangers adore you
And where do they go
When they walk out the door
And fall off the edge of the world.

This place
Is for dead grass
Not my blood
And racing heart.
I will eat
Until it is gone
And once again
Fly before the lion as I pray before the sun.
