Side Facing

Famous quotes containing the words side and/or facing:

“Some of us still get all weepy when we think about the Gaia Hypothesis, the idea that earth is a big furry goddess-creature who resembles everybody’s mom in that she knows what’s best for us. But if you look at the historical record—Krakatoa, Mt. Vesuvius, Hurricane Charley, poison ivy, and so forth down the ages—you have to ask yourself: Whose side is she on, anyway?”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

“And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods?”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
