Our desires (Proust)
Our desires interweave with each other; and in the confusion of existence, it is seldom that a joy is promptly paired with the desire that longed for it.
Marcel Proust, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower
Labels: quote
Humans have a tendency to fall prey to the illusion that their economy is at the very center of the universe, forgetting that the biosphere is what ultimately sustains all systems, both man-made and natural. In this sense, 'environmental issues' are not about saving the planet—it will always survive and evolve with new combinations of atom—but about the prosperous development of our own species.
