February 2

Politics may require a fudge but the biosphere doesn’t do compromise. Even if you leap three-quarters of the way, you still end up in the ditch.

*

When success eludes us, we learn to take comfort from the consistency of our failures.

*

Our last illusions about the solidity of the world vanish when we become parents and realise that the ground we stand upon is ourselves.

*

Aliens came to Earth and sought at once a meeting with its most successful species. They are still waiting for the cockroaches to speak.
