An ongoing list of inspiring quotations.
“One of the penalties of an ecological education is that one lives alone in a world of wounds. Much of the damage inflicted on land is quite invisible to laymen. An ecologist must either harden his shell and make believe that the consequences of science are none of his business, or he must be the doctor who sees the marks of death in a community that believes itself well and does not want to be told otherwise.”
Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
We listen to songs over and over again “not because we can’t remember the song’s information as such, but because we enjoy the feeling of experiencing the song again, its musical and linguistic phrases moving forward in time. People who love poems…similarly reread them not to acquire new knowledge but to reinhabit the enactment of what they already know, that excitement growing richer to the degree that they’re seduced by the movement of the medium.”
James Logenbach, How Poems Get Made
