Dangers Quotes

“The desert and the ocean are realms of desolation on the surface.

The desert is a place of bones, where the innards are turned out, to desiccate into dust.

The ocean is a place of skin, rich outer membranes hiding thick juicy insides, laden with the soup of being.

Inside out and outside in. These are worlds of things that implode or explode, and the only catalyst that determines the direction of eco-movement is the balance of water.

Both worlds are deceptive, dangerous. Both, seething with hidden life.

The only veil that stands between perception of what is underneath the desolate surface is your courage.

Dare to breach the surface and sink.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Then I let go and forced a smile. “I wasn’t born to be saved.”
― Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty

“I was raised in the desert and always appreciated the way its landscape gives you a chance to see what's coming. In Florida, dangers don't reveal themselves until it's too late. The alligator lurking in the shallow pond, ready to devour your pet or your child. The snake hidden in the underbrush. The riptide slicing across that postcard-perfect Atlantic. Sinkholes. Encephalitis. Brain-destroying bacteria that flourish in overheated lakes. Quicksand.”
― Laura van den Berg, I Hold a Wolf by the Ears: Stories

The adverse outcomes of past technological leaps – driven by entrepreneurs, politicians, and (of course) scientists – encompass all the threats of human-induced apocalypse, such as military, environmental, accidental, or others.
Indeed, in the modern age, the most intelligent species has managed to jeopardize its existence for the first time in history.
The paragons of intelligence, scientists, consciously or not, have played an indispensable role in this weird achievement.  ”
