Clark Strand Quotes

The Availability Of Cheap Effective Lighting Alone, Following Thomas Edison's Invention Of The Incandescent Bulb In 1879, Greatly Extended The Range Of Waking Human Consciousness, Effectively Adding More Hours Onto The Day - For Work, For Entertainment, For Study, For Discovery, For Consumption. Subsequently, One Development Led To Another, And To Yet Another, Fueled By A Corporate Economy In Developed Nations, And Then Later By The Arms Race, And Then The Space Race, As Human Ambition Literally Outgrew The Planet. It Seemed That There Was No Limit On What Humanity Could Achieve. But There Was A Flaw At The Heart Of That Expansive Optimism - Namely, That Humanity Cannot Exist As A Thing Apart From Nature; It Has No Destiny But Annihilation Apart From The Land That Gave It Birth.
