: It is certainly not then — not in dreams — but when one is wide awake, at moments of robust joy and achievement, on the highest terrace of consciousness, that mortality has a chance to peer beyond its own limits, from the mast, from the past and its castle tower. And although nothing much can be seen through the mist, there is somehow the blissful feeling that one is looking in the right direction. ~ [[Vladimir Nabokov]]

: We have lived by the assumption that what was good for us would be good for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives, so that it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption that what is good for the world will be good for us. … We must recover the sense of the majesty of the creation and the ability to be worshipful in its presence.

All that is required for this enlightenment is ''freedom''; and particularly the least harmful of all that may be called freedom, namely, the freedom for man to make public use of his reason in all matter. ~ [[Immanuel Kant]]

Her intense and pure religiousness took the form of her having equal faith in the existence of another world and in the impossibility of comprehending it in terms of earthly life. All one could do was to glimpse, amid the haze and the chimeras, something real ahead, just as persons endowed with an unusual persistence of diurnal cerebration are able to perceive in their deepest sleep, somewhere beyond the throes of an entangled and inept nightmare, the ordered reality of the waking hour. ~ [[Vladimir Nabokov]]

It is perfectly obvious that the whole world is going to hell. The only possible chance that it might not is that we do not attempt to prevent it from doing so. ~ [[Robert Oppenheimer]]

We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.

More solar energy falls on Earth in one hour than all the energy our civilization consumes in an entire year. If we could harness a tiny fraction of the available solar and wind power, we could supply all our energy needs forever, and without adding any carbon to the atmosphere. ~ In commemoration of [[w:Earth Day |Earth Day]], from the [[Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey#Twelfth Episode: The World Set Free |twelfth episode]] of the science documentary television series ''[[Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey |Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey'' (2014)]].
*4 [[User:Pithy Francoln|Pithy Francoln]] ([[User talk:Pithy Francoln|talk]]) 21:41, 7 October 2016 (UTC) To celebrate Earth Day (April 22nd), I propose discussing the solution (renewable energy) instead of simply complaining about the problem (impending global warming disaster).

Here is a longer version of the same quote, with a pep talk in the second paragraph:

"More solar energy falls on Earth in one hour than all the energy our civilization consumes in an entire year. If we could harness a tiny fraction of the available solar and wind power, we could supply all our energy needs forever, and without adding any carbon to the atmosphere.

"It's not too late. There's a future worth fighting for. How do I know? Every one of us comes from a long line of survivors. Our species is nothing if not adaptive. It was only because our ancestors learned to think long-term, and act accordingly, that we're here at all. We've had our backs to the wall before, and we came through to scale new heights."
*[[User:Pithy Francoln|Pithy Francoln]] ([[User talk:Pithy Francoln|talk]]) 13:00, 21 March 2017 (UTC) I am indifferent as to whether the longer or shorter version of the above quote could be used. However, I do think that the challenge of global warming and adoption of renewable energy as a response to that challenge is of vital importance for our world community. I would love to see either one displayed as a quote of the day.

By burning coal, oil and gas, our civilization is exhaling carbon dioxide much faster than Earth can absorb it. So, CO2 is building up in the atmosphere.
