The Cry of Gaia

When the last tree is cut, 
The last fish is caught, 
And the last river is polluted; 
When to breathe the air is sickening, 
You will realize, 
Too late, 
That wealth is not in bank accounts and that you can't eat money. 

-Alanis Obomsawin

A good book should leave you... slightly exhausted at the end. 
You live several lives while reading it.

- William Styron

I have always imagined that paradise will be a kind of library.  

- Jorge Luis Borges
