Truly, it is in the darkness that one finds the Light, so when we are in sorrow, then this Light is nearest of all to us.
~Meister Eckhart
It is often difficult to judge how our actions and their impact on the environment are likely to affect others. What is clear is that we are the only species with the power to destroy the earth. Birds and insects have no such power, nor does any other mammal. And yet if we have the capacity to destroy the earth, we also have the capacity to protect it. I believe we have an urgent responsibility to do so.
Dalai Lama

The quote about Christianity and the world raised my eyebrows; in my experience few Christians think about the world as more than a stepping stone and hardly worth cultivating.
