I just thought I'd share this quote with you all:


“There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self.
So you have to begin there, not outside, not on other people.  That comes afterward, when you've worked on your own corner.”
Aldous Huxley, Time Must Have a Stop

I used it as part of a presentation I had to do for class. It was on the subject of accepting responsibility for our impacts on the Earth system, both biophysical and socio-economically. Once we can do this, then we can rise to the challenge of trying to amend what it is we are doing wrong. I believe that if you accept responsibility as an individual then you can work on your own corner of the universe and help change the rest.
Also, Aldous Huxley is the bees knees.
