That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.<br /><br />The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.<br /><br />Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.<br /><br />The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.<br /><br />It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world.

A clean place to live. Their own habitat. They’re worried that some day in the future they might be personally inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn’t impress me.<br /><br />The planet has been through a lot worse than us. Been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sun spots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles … hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids and meteors, worldwide floods, tidal waves, worldwide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages … And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet isn’t going anywhere. WE are!<br /><br />We’re going away. Pack your shit, folks. We’re going away. And we won’t leave much of a trace, either. Maybe a little Styrofoam … The planet’ll be here and we’ll be long gone. Just another failed mutation. Just another closed-end biological mistake. An evolutionary cul-de-sac. The planet’ll shake us off like a bad case of fleas.<br /><br />The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we’re gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, ’cause that’s what it does. It’s a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?” <br /><br />Plastic… asshole.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> George Carlin </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="greyText smallText left"> tags: <a href="/quotes/tag/comedy">comedy</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/extinction">extinction</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/global-warming">global-warming</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/pale-blue-dot">pale-blue-dot</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/perspective">perspective</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/plastic">plastic</a> </div> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/251836-we-re-so-self-important-everybody-s-going-to-save-something-now-save">855 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="action"> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> <br class="clear"/> </div> <div class="quote mediumText "> <div class="quoteDetails "> <a class="leftAlignedImage quoteAvatar " href="/author/show/17854.Bertrand_Russell"> <img alt="Bertrand Russell" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1457021442i/17854._UX200_CR0,27,200,200_.jpg" /> </a> <div class="quoteText"> “In all affairs it's a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> Bertrand Russell </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="greyText smallText left"> tags: <a href="/quotes/tag/certainty">certainty</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/perspective">perspective</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/presumption">presumption</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/questioning">questioning</a> </div> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/6372-in-all-affairs-it-s-a-healthy-thing-now-and-then">852 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="action"> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> <br class="clear"/> </div> <div class="quote mediumText "> <div class="quoteDetails "> <a class="leftAlignedImage quoteAvatar " href="/author/show/173.George_Eliot"> <img alt="George Eliot" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1596202587i/173._UX200_CR0,2,200,200_.jpg" /> </a> <div class="quoteText"> “It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.” <br /> ― <span class="authorOrTitle"> George Eliot, </span> <span id=quote_book_link_19089> <a class="authorOrTitle" href="/work/quotes/1461747">Middlemarch</a> </span> </div> <div class="quoteFooter"> <div class="greyText smallText left"> tags: <a href="/quotes/tag/narrow-mind">narrow-mind</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/open-mindedness">open-mindedness</a>, <a href="/quotes/tag/perspective">perspective</a> </div> <div class="right"> <a class="smallText" title="View this quote" href="/quotes/98910-it-is-a-narrow-mind-which-cannot-look-at-a">843 likes</a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="action"> <a class="gr-button gr-button--small" rel="nofollow" href="/user/new">Like</a> </div> <br class="clear"/> </div> <div class="quote mediumText "> <div class="quoteDetails "> <a class="leftAlignedImage quoteAvatar " href="/author/show/4.Douglas_Adams"> <img alt="Douglas Adams" src="https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/authors/1616277702i/4._UX200_CR0,15,200,200_.jpg" /> </a> <div class="quoteText"> “Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
