David Grinspoon Quote
The scientific revolution has revealed us, as individuals, to be incredibly tiny and ephemeral, and our entire existence, not just as individuals but even as a species, to be brief and insubstantial against the larger temporal backdrop of cosmic evolution. If, however, we choose to identify with the biosphere, then we, Gaia, have been here for quite some time, for perhaps three billion years in a universe that seems to be about thirteen billion years old. We’ve been alive for a quarter of all time. That’s something. Uniquely
