"There is a collapse taking place, and it would be happening with rapid velocity if it weren’t for the millions of people around the world who are working to slow down these trends; and they’re doing so in the force of great headwinds."
— Kris Tompkins, conservationist
"The world doesn’t stay saved. The story of the last 150 years is that we saved the world a couple of times and now we have to save it again. It’s going to be hard; it was every time; but we did it and we will do it again."
—Ada Palmer, author
"I see humanity at the mouth of a long dark tunnel and there’s a little star at the end that’s hope. But there’s no good sitting at the mouth of the tunnel and just waiting for the star to come; you’ve got to crawl under, climb over, work around all the obstacles between us and that star."
—Jane Goodall, naturaloist
“Hope is a desire for some future event that has a reasonable chance of happening. When progress happens it isn’t just a rising tide, it’s not a background force, it’s because someone somewhere decided that we have problems that are fixable so let’s try to fix them."
—Steven Pinker, author
"This season changed our relationship with hope. If mending can be a radical act, we realised that hope is a street fighter. The tougher the environment, the harder the obstacles, the more resilient it becomes. Hope is not some invisible force that sweeps in to save the day. It’s gritty and battered. It builds in increments and gains groundswell from tiny but cumulative efforts of ordinary people from every corner of the globe." —Fix The News
