Well, perhaps the greatest achievement, and we didn't know it at the time, was we held an Earth Day in 1970, and out of that Earth Day a lot of students got involved in saving the environment, or trying to. ~ Pete McCloskey
Earth Day quotes by Pete McCloskey
What we do every day - whether you live in
Mexico, the United States, Russia, China
can have a very negative impact on
an entire way of life for an entire people
far away from that source ~ Sheila Watt-Cloutier
Earth Day quotes by Sheila Watt-Cloutier
We are the natural nurturers of the Earth Mother. The Earth Mother needs our help, she needs our prayers. We need to educate the women of the world that prayer works. ~ Agnes Baker Pilgrim
Earth Day quotes by Agnes Baker Pilgrim
On Earth Day, the Moon in the sky also has a very valuable message to us: If you cannot maintain your atmosphere, you turn into the Moon, a pointless inanimate place! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Earth Day quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
I wake up in the morning asking myself what can I do today, how can I help the world today. I believe in what I do beyond a shadow of a doubt. I gave my word to this tree and to all the people that my feet would not touch the ground until I had done everything in my power to make the world aware of this problem and to stop the destruction. ~ Julia Hill
Earth Day quotes by Julia Hill
The world's big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark. ~ John Muir
Earth Day quotes by John Muir
It is not man the ecological crisis threatens to destroy but the quality of human life. ~ Rene Dubos
Earth Day quotes by Rene Dubos
If you Love Happy Life,
Save EARTH from getting more dirty & abused.
I will be GREEN again … Tree's inner voice ~ Krvishal
Earth Day quotes by Krvishal
We're so self-important. Everybody's going to save something now. "Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails." And the greatest arrogance of all: save the planet. Save the planet, we don't even know how to take care of ourselves yet. I'm tired of this shit. I'm tired of f-ing Earth Day. I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalists, these white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren't enough bicycle paths. People trying to make the world safe for Volvos. Besides, environmentalists don't give a shit about the planet. Not in the abstract they don't. You know what they're interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They're worried that some day in the future they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn't impress me.

The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn't going anywhere. WE are!

We're going away. Pack your shit, folks. We're going away. And we won't leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little Styro ~ George Carlin
Earth Day quotes by George Carlin
My father was a legendary copywriter. He wrote 'Timex Takes a Licking and Keeps on Ticking.' He named Earth Day 'Earth Day.' It falls on his birthday, April 22. Earth Day, birthday. So the idea came easily. ~ Sarah Koenig
Earth Day quotes by Sarah Koenig
Shouldn't every day be Earth Day? I mean, what are our options? ~ Jimmy Fallon
Earth Day quotes by Jimmy Fallon
Today we celebrate Earth Day. I exhort everyone to see the world through the eyes of God the Creator: the earth is an environment to be safeguarded, a garden to be cultivated. The relationship of mankind with nature must not be conducted with greed, manipulation and exploitation, but it must conserve the divine harmony that exists between creatures and Creation within the logic of respect and care, so it can be put to the service of our brothers, also of future generations. ~ Pope Francis
Earth Day quotes by Pope Francis
Knowledge empowers people with our most powerful tool: the ability to think and decide. There is no power for change greater than a child discovering what he or she cares about. (Speech about Global Warming read on the National Mall for the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, 2010) ~ Seymour Simon
Earth Day quotes by Seymour Simon
It will be impossible for us to maintain the health of the organism called the earth unless we feel and care for other organisms as we do for ourselves - and unless we take action. ~ Ilchi Lee
Earth Day quotes by Ilchi Lee
Only the most arrogant, shortsighted, and spiritually bereft of our species would say that, at any cost to other species, we need only worry about our own. ~ Timothy Walker
Earth Day quotes by Timothy Walker
The highest art is the art of putting peaceful steps on the earth, so that entire cosmos get rejuvenated by each step. ~ Amit Ray
Earth Day quotes by Amit Ray
It's Earth day I wonder if we can plant more trees than people for a change? ~ Stanley Victor Paskavich
Earth Day quotes by Stanley Victor Paskavich
The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard. ~ Gaylord Nelson
Earth Day quotes by Gaylord Nelson
Today is Earth Day. The way I see it, as humans the very least we can do is recycle. A lot of recycling is going on this year. For example, Bushes and Clintons. ~ David Letterman
Earth Day quotes by David Letterman
It is already too late to avoid mass starvation ~ Denis Hayes
Earth Day quotes by Denis Hayes
The love of our eternal parents, Earth Mother and Sky Father, is all-embracing and will continue to provide for us, but only if we respect the earth, the sky, and the waters that mediate between them. We need to harness our science and technology to protect the domains of Papa and Wakea, not desecrate them. ~ Rubellite Kawena Johnson
Earth Day quotes by Rubellite Kawena Johnson
The Peace Panda Says ... Every day should be Earth Day!If we don't take care of mother earth,
She won't take care of us! ~ Timothy Pina
Earth Day quotes by Timothy Pina
Public service announcements were first created by the Ad Council during World War II to get Rosie to work and to tighten loose lips. In 1971, on the second Earth Day, the world met "the crying Indian," played by Iron Eyes Cody. The famous anti-pollution ad, which showed Cody paddling a canoe and watching motorists litter, effectively gave the new ecology movement a huge boost. As it turns out, Cody was of Italian descent (real name Espera DeCorti), but he appeared in hundreds of movies and TV shows as a Native American and denied his European ancestry until his death in 1999. ~ Mark Jacob
Earth Day quotes by Mark Jacob
It is not enough to understand that the Earth is our home; we must understand that the Earth is the only home we have! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Earth Day quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
As crude a weapon as a cave man's club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life. ~ Rachel Carson
Earth Day quotes by Rachel Carson
If he could go back, choose another career, my father would have liked to have been an environmentalist of some kind, which is why he'd really like to be remembered for something almost nobody knows he did: naming Earth Day. It agitated him to look up Earth Day on Wikipedia recently and not see his name anywhere. So a few days ago, I added it. ~ Sarah Koenig
Earth Day quotes by Sarah Koenig
Because we were orbiting the earth faster than earth spins on its axis, we went around the earth 16 times a day, an earth day, which meant 16 periods of lightness and 16 periods of darkness in 24 hours. Every so often you'd look towards the earth, and often you could see lightness and darkness together, and dawn and sunset were spectacular. ~ Helen Sharman
Earth Day quotes by Helen Sharman
Earth Day gathered up those strands, and dozens more, and knitted them together in the public consciousness as "environmental" issues. The nation was pretty startled when 20 million people hit the streets. Congress, which had adjourned for the day to go back to its districts, was blown away. ~ Denis Hayes
Earth Day quotes by Denis Hayes
Why is Earth Day, today, also Lenin's birthday? Coincidence? Or does it signal the true intent of the national and worldwide environmental movement? ~ Alan Caruba
Earth Day quotes by Alan Caruba
Environmentally friendly cars will soon cease to be an option ... they will become a necessity. ~ Fujio Cho
Earth Day quotes by Fujio Cho
When we held the first Earth Day, everyone said it was a success because of the huge turnout. It was probably the largest planned event across the country. ~ Denis Hayes
Earth Day quotes by Denis Hayes
No one in hundreds of years has had that kind of power -- the power to control the elements. Not since the slaughter of the 1600's ... She has saved her greatest warrior for the moment when you are most needed. It is you, Isi, not us; you are the one destined to save the planet. We boys are just window dressing while you are the last knight of the Earth, pulled from her core and given from her heart to save us all. Haven't you noticed it? The flowers turn their faces to you, as if you were the sun. The most timid and previously abused bird curls up in your arms, as if it were her most natural place. When you are sad, the sky shares your sorrow and darkens in empathy. When you are happy, the moon throws herself into eclipse and the stars themselves wink at you to celebrate your joy. You are her daughter, the daughter of Earth, and she smiles when she sees you. ~ Sarah Warden
Earth Day quotes by Sarah Warden
I have been speaking to you all of your life. In the gurgle of a tide pool, I breathed myself into you. I drew you down from the trees and I lifted you onto your feet. I freed your hands to become your tools so that you would cradle me in my old age, but you have turned on me. My strongest warrior for life, you have been transformed into an insatiable messenger of death. Only a few of my children are still listening when I howl to them, crying in the night, sending the oceans in great surges to cleanse my land -- to cleanse, and to warn you who no longer listen. I WILL BE HEARD. ~ Sarah Warden
Earth Day quotes by Sarah Warden
Just to see if I liked vlogging, I uploaded a video of my sister and I cleaning up a river in a canoe for Earth Day. The sound was horrible, and the quality was horrible ... But you have to blog what's interesting to you and not care what anyone thinks. ~ Rosanna Pansino
Earth Day quotes by Rosanna Pansino
Earth care, as it turns out, is really about self-care and other-care. What we design today impacts how we live tomorrow. For better or for worse, it impacts far into upcoming generations. ~ L.L. Barkat
Earth Day quotes by L.L. Barkat
Earth Day should encourage us to reflect on what we are doing to make our planet a more sustainable and livable place. ~ Scott Peters
Earth Day quotes by Scott Peters
The job of the united nations is to grow more flowers on the earth. ~ Amit Ray
Earth Day quotes by Amit Ray
Nature teaches us everything,
Science, Religion and Scriptures
All are part of you and
All are from you
We all belong to you, on this Earth day ! ~ Santosh Kalwar
Earth Day quotes by Santosh Kalwar
The materials of wealth are in the earth, in the seas, and in their natural and unaided productions. ~ Daniel Webster
Earth Day quotes by Daniel Webster
If we can give to urban people the peasant's love of nature and their deep understanding on the matter of nature's importance, the salvation of our Earth will be easier! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Earth Day quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
I have a dream...

I dream of undoing the damage we've done.

I dream of clean water, clean air and clean soil.

Will you dream with me? ~ Brooke Hampton
Earth Day quotes by Brooke Hampton
It's Earth Day today. Let me tell you something about polar bears. They're endangered but you have to be careful because a polar bear is one of the few animals that will stalk a human. If you go to where polar bears live, it might stalk you and when you're on the plane going home, it might be behind you reading. ~ Craig Ferguson
Earth Day quotes by Craig Ferguson
EARTH DAY reminds the people of the world of the need for continuing care which is vital to Earth's safety. ~ Margaret Mead
Earth Day quotes by Margaret Mead
Let us permit nature to have her way. She understands her business better than we do. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Earth Day quotes by Michel De Montaigne
Today is Earth Day. Environmentalists spent the day drawing attention to the Earth, while the Earth just spent the day checking Facebook to see which planets wished it a happy Earth Day. ~ Jimmy Fallon
Earth Day quotes by Jimmy Fallon
The sun is the only safe nuclear reactor, situated as it is some ninety-three million miles away. ~ Stephanie Mills
Earth Day quotes by Stephanie Mills
Anna took her solace where she always did. The smell of the earth, the touch of the sky held for her a special alchemy, able to turn loneliness into aloneness, and so make it, if not sacred, at least bearable. ~ Nevada Barr
Earth Day quotes by Nevada Barr
The college idealists who fill the ranks of the environmental movement seem willing to do absolutely anything to save the biosphere, except take science courses and learn something about it. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Earth Day quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
Earth Day was created because we were doing a lot of drugs, more drugs than you could ever f@*! imagine. And so we came up with Earth Day, so we'd have one day that would remind us what planet we were living on. ~ Lewis Black
Earth Day quotes by Lewis Black
Earth Citizens have minds and hearts that know the Earth is the foundation of everything they do. ~ Ilchi Lee
Earth Day quotes by Ilchi Lee
We are hopeful that you will want to visit our planet in the near future. We are in the process of restoring our environment to its original grandeur, and hope to have completed the task before your RSVP. ~ Jeremy Rifkin
Earth Day quotes by Jeremy Rifkin
In celebration of this Earth Day, I encourage all Members of the House to support legislation aimed at investing in the improvement of water quality in our Nation's lakes, rivers, streams and estuaries. ~ Jerry Costello
Earth Day quotes by Jerry Costello
Every New Yorker has the right to clean air, safe drinking water, and healthy communities to raise their children - and you can rest assured that I will aggressively protect that right, not just on Earth Day, but every day. ~ Eric Schneiderman
Earth Day quotes by Eric Schneiderman
A single decision by the chairman of Royal Dutch/Shell has a greater impact on the health of the planet than all the coffee-ground-composting, organic-cotton-wearing ecofreaks gathering in Washington D.C., for Earth Day festivities this weekend. ~ Sharon Begley
Earth Day quotes by Sharon Begley
By millions of years, time winged onward through eternity, to the end - the end, of which, in the old-earth days, I had thought remotely, and in hazily speculative fashion. And now, it was approaching in a manner of which none had ever dreamed. ~ William Hope Hodgson
Earth Day quotes by William Hope Hodgson
Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans. ~ Evo Morales
Earth Day quotes by Evo Morales
Earth Citizens are people who care for the earth as they care for their own bodies. ~ Ilchi Lee
Earth Day quotes by Ilchi Lee
I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do. ~ John Muir
Earth Day quotes by John Muir
Everything in the universe has a rhythm, everything dances. ~ Maya Angelou
Earth Day quotes by Maya Angelou
The future will be green, or not at all ~ Jonathon Porritt
Earth Day quotes by Jonathon Porritt
Our primeval Mother Earth is an organism that no science in the world can rationalize. Everything on her that crawls and flies is dependent upon Her and all must hopelessly perish if that Earth dies that feeds us. ~ Viktor Schauberger
Earth Day quotes by Viktor Schauberger
Earth rejoices our words, breathing and peaceful steps. Let every breath, every word and every step make the mother earth proud of us. ~ Amit Ray
Earth Day quotes by Amit Ray
You are an indispensable and irreplaceable asset to the human family. ~ Ilchi Lee
Earth Day quotes by Ilchi Lee
I was in college when tens of thousands of people marched on Washington for the first Earth Day. Raw sewage floated in rivers and clouds of smog hung over cities. But then something amazing happened. People spoke out. Thousands of students, workers, and ordinary citizens used their voices to say, 'This has to change.' ~ Frances Beinecke
Earth Day quotes by Frances Beinecke
If we are ever to halt climate change and conserve land, water and other resources, not to mention reduce animal suffering, we must celebrate Earth Day every day - at every meal. ~ Ingrid Newkirk
Earth Day quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
Earth Day is the first holy day which transcends all national borders, yet preserves all geographical integrities, spans mountains and oceans and time belts, and yet brings people all over the world into one resonating accord, is devoted to the preservation of the harmony in nature and yet draws upon the triumphs of technology, the measurement of time, and instantaneous communication through space. ~ Margaret Mead
Earth Day quotes by Margaret Mead
Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Earth Day quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Forests are the lungs of our land ... ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Earth Day quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Every time you see your belly button, remember that your life is connected with the life of the planet, ~ Ilchi Lee
Earth Day quotes by Ilchi Lee
The prints shop manager, a balding man of about thirty years old, dressed in a plaid work shirt and faded jeans, looked very shocked when he saw the headline text. "Sydney Tar Ponds, Is It As Dangerous As People Say? Well," he exclaimed, glancing at the front photo, which featured the Sydney Steel Corporation, along with its plumes of orange smog. "You know, most people your age are really against that mill, as if it's a disease. We have university students protesting every few weeks or so… strangely enough, the ones who have parents who rely on that steel mill to pay the bills."

"What about the pollution?" Wendy questioned, almost accusingly, as if it was his fault. "What if dangerous chemicals are in the environment?"

"Hey kid, I don't even work at the mill, never have, but my father, my uncle, their father, cousins, all worked there," the prints shop man argued, placing the newspapers in a cardboard box and taping it shut. "When it comes down to all that 'go green' crap, you have to ask yourself, is it worth risking a person's income, their job, their family… their life? I'm not saying you're wrong, but these newspapers might have a point. ~ Rebecca McNutt
Earth Day quotes by Rebecca McNutt
A faint blush below the horizon, as the first kiss from the Sun wakes the Earth from its slumber. ~ Meeta Ahluwalia
Earth Day quotes by Meeta Ahluwalia
We had some major successes and we did so because the country embraced the spirit of Earth Day and embraced this concept that we have to have forward-looking, visionary environmental policy and energy policy in this country. ~ Jay Inslee
Earth Day quotes by Jay Inslee
I think the most enduring lesson I was taught through my experiences of being a Girl Scout was that I was a member of a larger community. I out-grew my uniforms and badges years ago, but the memories of visiting nursing homes or organizing Earth Day tree plantings or my summers camping with girls from all different backgrounds will stay with me always. ~ Natalie Merchant
Earth Day quotes by Natalie Merchant
Earth Day is the first holy day ... and is devoted to the harmony of nature ... The celebration offends no historical calendar, yet it transcends them all. ~ Margaret Mead
Earth Day quotes by Margaret Mead
A Zen master, when asked where he would go after he died, replied, 'To Hell, for that's where help is needed most.' ~ Philip Kapleau
Earth Day quotes by Philip Kapleau
EARTH DAY uses one of humanity's great discoveries, the discovery of anniversaries by which, throughout time, human beings have kept their sorrows and their joys, their victories, their revelations and their obligations alive, for re-celebration and re-dedication another year, another decade, another century, another eon. ~ Margaret Mead
Earth Day quotes by Margaret Mead
If the world after coronavirus is not going to be a much more greener, much more environmentally friendly and much more vegetarian world, human beings will deserve a much worse virus than coronavirus! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Earth Day quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
To reach your heart, as every indigenous tribe I know has told me, you must first remember your Divine Mother ... Your Mother is alive and very much conscious ... Earth is not a rock, she has a name and a personality in the cosmos. And believe me, she knows your name. ~ Drunvalo Melchizedek
Earth Day quotes by Drunvalo Melchizedek
If you inspire one person each day, you're day hasn't been a waste. It's been a blessing. ~ Robin Sharma
Earth Day quotes by Robin Sharma
She remembered how one day she'd gone running to him with a shell, told him to listen and hear the waves inside. He'd taken time off from his endless making of money and driven her way up into the hills and found a quarry and dug a fossil out the rocks and made her put that to her ear as well; she'd heard the same singing and he'd told her that was the noise the years made, all the millions of them shut inside buzzing to get free. She kept the stone a long while after that; and when more time had passed and she knew the whispering and piping were only echoes of her blood she did't care because she'd still heard what she heard, the sound of trapped eternities. ~ Keith Roberts
Earth Day quotes by Keith Roberts
Time takes no holiday. It does not roll idly by, but through our senses works its own wonders in the mind. Time came and went from one day to the next; in its coming and its passing it brought me other hopes and other memories. [quoted in Peter Brown, Augustine of Hippo, p. 54] ~ Augustine Of Hippo
Earth Day quotes by Augustine Of Hippo
Wolsey sits with his elbows on his desk, his fingers dabbing his closed lids. He takes a great breath, and begins to talk: he begins to talk about England. You can't know Albion, he says, unless you can go back before Albion was thought of. You must go back before Caesar's legions, to the days when the bones of giant animals and men lay on the ground where one day London would be built. You must go back to the New Troy, the New Jerusalem, and the sins and crimes of the kings who rode under the tattered banners of Arthur and who married women who came out of the sea or hatched out of eggs, women with scales and fins and feathers; beside which, he says, the match with Anne looks less unusual. These are old stories, he says, but some people, let us remember, do believe them. ~ Hilary Mantel
Earth Day quotes by Hilary Mantel
Positivist man is a curious creature who dwells in the tiny island of light composed of what he finds scientifically "meaningful," while the whole surrounding area in which ordinary men live from day to day and have their dealings with other men is consigned to the outer darkness of the "meaningless." Positivism has simply accepted the fractured being of modern man and erected a philosophy to intensify it.
Existentialism, whether successfully or not, has attempted instead to gather all the elements of human reality into a total picture of man. Positivist man and Existentialist man are no doubt offspring of the same parent epoch, but, somewhat as Cain and Abel were, the brothers are divided unalterably by temperament and the initial choice they make of their own being. ~ William Barrett
Earth Day quotes by William Barrett
"Give us this day our daily bread," by "this day" we mean "at this time," when we either ask for that sufficiency, signifying the whole of our need under the name of bread, which is the outstanding part of it, or for the sacrament of the faithful, which is necessary at this time for attaining not so much this temporal as that eternal happiness. ~ Saint Augustine
Earth Day quotes by Saint Augustine
The time to read is any time: no apparatus, no appointment of time and place, is necessary. It is the only art which can be practiced at any hour of the day or night, whenever the time and inclination comes, that is your time for reading; in joy or sorrow, health or illness. ~ Holbrook Jackson
Earth Day quotes by Holbrook Jackson
To discover a system for the avoidance of war is a vital need for our civ ilisation; but
no such system has a chance while men are so unhappy that mutual extermination
seems to them less dreadful than continued endurance of the light of day ~ Bertrand Russell
Earth Day quotes by Bertrand Russell
You've just provided me with the makings of one hell of a weekend in Dublin. ~ Daniel Day-Lewis
Earth Day quotes by Daniel Day-Lewis
Writing day and night for months ... that's hard. ~ C.J. Cherryh
Earth Day quotes by C.J. Cherryh
I love color. It must submit to me. And I love art. I kneel before it, and it must become mine. Everything around me glows with passion. Every day reveals a new red flower, glowing, scarlet red. Everyone around me carries them. Some wear them quietly hidden in their hearts. And they are like poppies just opening, of which one can see only here and there a hint of red petal peeking out from the green bud. ~ Paula Modersohn-Becker
Earth Day quotes by Paula Modersohn-Becker
The US has unthinkingly embarked upon a neoimperial policy that must involve us in virtually every great war of the coming century-and wars are the death of republics. If we continue on this course of reflexive interventions, enemies will one day answer our power with the weapon of the weak-terror, and eventually cataclysmic terrorism on US soil. ~ Pat Buchanan
Earth Day quotes by Pat Buchanan
That's when I realized that Heaven doesn't exist in another place, and neither does Hell. It's all here on Earth. We live them both, right here with one another. It's just that sometimes we have to go through Hell to get to Heaven. ~ Galaxy Craze
Earth Day quotes by Galaxy Craze
Conditioned to ecstasy, the poet is like a gorgeous unknown bird mired in the ashes of thought. If he succeeds in freeing himself, it is to make a sacrificial flight to the sun. His dreams of a regenerate world are but the reverberations of his own fevered pulse beats. He imagines the world will follow him, but in the blue he finds himself alone. Alone but surrounded by his creations; sustained, therefore, to meet the supreme sacrifice. The impossible has been achieved; the duologue of author with Author is consummated. And now forever through the ages the song expands, warming all hearts, penetrating all minds. At the periphery the world is dying away; at the center it glows like a live coal. In the great solar heart of the universe the golden birds are gathered in unison. There it is forever dawn, forever peace, harmony and communion. Man does not look to the sun in vain; he demands light and warmth not for the corpse which he will one day discard but for his inner being. His greatest desire is to burn with ecstasy, to commerge his little flame with the central fire of the universe. If he accords the angels wings so that they may come to him with messages of peace, harmony and radiance from worlds beyond, it is only to nourish his own dreams of flight, to sustain his own belief that he will one day reach beyond himself, and on wings of gold. One creation matches another; in essence they are all alike. The brotherhood of man consists not in thinking alike, nor in acting alik ~ Henry Miller
Earth Day quotes by Henry Miller
But that's the thing about all of this," he says gently but urgently, "we survive. After each known down, each earth shattering blow, we get up again. Even though we walk through hell, and it feels like all we do is walk through hell, we do eventually make it to the otherside. Scarred. Mostly broken. But we survive. And then we start to rebuild ourselves. We're never the same, but we do rebuild ourselves. Because something like this is just another way in which we change. We all have to change. ~ Dorothy Koomson
Earth Day quotes by Dorothy Koomson
You do not have to die this certain day.
Death will abide, will pamper your postponement.
I assure you death will wait. Death has
a lot of time. Death can
attend to you tomorrow. Or next week. Death is
just down the street; is most obliging neighbor;
can meet you any moment.
You need not die today.
Stay here–through pout or pain or peskyness.
Stay here. See what the news is going to be tomorrow.
Graves grow no green that you can use.
Remember, green's your color. You are Spring. ~ Gwendolyn Brooks
Earth Day quotes by Gwendolyn Brooks
We musn't forget old people with their rotten bodies, old people who are so close to death, something that young people don't want to think about. We musn't forget that our bodies decline, friends die, everyone forgets about us, and the end is solitude. Nor must we forget that these old people were young once, that a lifespan is pathetically short, that one day you're twenty and the next day you're eighty. ~ Muriel Barbery
Earth Day quotes by Muriel Barbery
Men are beginning to realize that they are not individuals but persons in society, that man alone is weak and adrift, that he must seek strength in common action. ~ Dorothy Day
Earth Day quotes by Dorothy Day
Dream day by day! ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Earth Day quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Don't scale because you think there's a pot of gold over that rainbow. Scale because you're ready and eager to do heroic work, every day, forever. ~ Seth Godin
Earth Day quotes by Seth Godin
One of the founding moments of public health in the 19th century effectively poisoned the water supply of London much more effectively than any modern day bioterrorist could have ever dreamed of doing. ~ Steven Johnson
Earth Day quotes by Steven Johnson
You're living off your parent's money? At your age?" Oh no she didn't. I took another drink and then smiled at her in warning as if to say, 'don't play this game with me, sweetheart, you won't win.'

She didn't heed the warning. "So they pay for everything? Doesn't that make you feel guilty?"

Every fucking day. "Was it your money that bought those Louboutin's… or Braden's? ~ Samantha Young
Earth Day quotes by Samantha Young
