Softer World quotes
we are a disaster, and yes, we are terrible for each other
but tell me your heart doesn’t race for a hurricane or a burning building
I'd rather die with the sun on my face
the world isn't going to end just because we did everything wrong. Though, that would be easier.
Who has decided (who has the right to decide) for the countless legions of people who were not consulted that the supreme value is a world ungraced by the curving wing of a bird in flight?
- Rachel Carson's Silent Spring
Bridges - another place between places.
Before we met, I was so scared of dying.
But if the end comes today
this will be enough
(There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met)
satellite images, maps and blueprints of of every world, of every city
we could go look it up and know what's there in someone else's words
or we could get wicked drunk and just go
(I marked on my map where I had my first kiss)
adventure is just one mistake away. those with 'something to fall back on' invariably fall back on it. they intended to all along. that is why they provided themselves with it. but those with no alternative see the world differently.
I want to rob lumber mills and hospitals with you
and just bewilder the hell out of people
the way love should
(we will make everything wrong the right way)
the world is ending and people are taking pictures
that won't last
but tell me your heart doesn’t race for a hurricane or a burning building
