People are just as wonderful as sunsets if I can let them be…when I look at a sunset, I don’t find myself saying, ‘soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner’. I don’t try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.

You have got to get out of the goddamned contraption

and walk, better yet crawl on hands and knees, over the sandstone and through thornbusg and cactus. When traces of blood mark your trail you’ll see something, maybe.”

Be a half-assed crusader, a part-time fanatic. Don’t worry to much about the fate of the world. Saving the world is only a hobby. Get out there and enjoy the world, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, husbands, wives; climb mountains, run rivers, get drunk, do whatever you want to do while you can, before it’s too late. –EDWARD ABBEY, US environmental advocate, 1927—89, quoted in The Green Lifestyle Handbook, 1989


My God. I can’t even sit down to lunch with a man any more and hold up my end of a decent conversation. I either get so bored or so goddam preachy that if the son of a bitch had any sense, he’d break his chair over my head.

I can relate.

I remember crying over you

And I don’t mean like a couple tears 

And then I’m blue

I’m talking about collasping

and screaming at the moon

For having gone through it

Yes, I’m a better man

For having gone through

-The Avett Brothers, “Tear down the house”

Dude, I want this.
