I have some favorite lyrics from a singer named Josh Ritter. He is simply amazing with words!
From the song "Another New World":
As the frost turned her moorings to nine-tail,
And the wind lashed her sides in the cold.
I burned her to keep me alive every night,
In the lover's embrace of her hold.
Another fromt he same song:
I won't call it rescue that brought me back here,
To the old world to drink and decline.
And to pretend that the search for another new world,
Was well worth the burning of mine.
You said fusion was the broken heart that's lonely's only thought,
And all night long you drove me wild with your equations.
Wolves in the timber at night.
I heard their songs when I looked in the mirror,
In the howls and the moons round my eyes.
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon, and your feet are on fire.
A few others I like:
"For some people, it is better worth their while to seem to be wise, than to be wise without seeming to be." ~Aristotle
"We don't have to save the world. The world is big enough to look after itself. What we have to be concerned about is whether or not the world we live in will be capable of sustaining us in it."
~Douglas Adams
"Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable, let's prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all."
~Douglas Adams
"Let's be clear. The planet is not in jeopardy. We are in jeopardy. We haven't got the power to destroy the planet - or to save it. But we might have the power to save ourselves." ~Ian Malcolm, Jurassic Park
I stand corrected in my ignorance.
