There’s some idea there, and the power of it comes from the fact that most of the time you’ll never be able to answer what it is. It’s just there. It’s just a magic moment that you can feel in your gut that it’s there, and you’re willing to go there and sleep there and go through the hardship and fight for it. Once you start answering it too clearly then the magic is gone Picture Quote #1

Overconsumption is the mother of all environmental problems. For the first time in the history of capitalism, consumption itself has become controversial Picture Quote #1
