On Freedom: Four Songs of Care and Constraint by Maggie Nelson

 

"I don't believe that everything will be fine either. I don't actually know anyone who thinks everything will be fine, or anyone who could say, with a straight face and a clear heart, that we are on track to leave behind a healthy, habitable planet that will sustain the miracle of biodiversity along with our children and the children of our children. But despair and depression are not the only possible responses to this fact, however sensical they may be."
