Tim DeChristopher Quotes

I don’t think a worship of nature is necessary to mount a really strong defense of the environment Picture Quote #1

Dealing with our negative emotions is a crucial preparatory step to taking effective action. You have to grapple with the hard stuff, with the hard realities of the world. This builds your confidence that you can handle those intense situations when they arise Picture Quote #1

Being forcefully rattled out of our consumer mentality - our addiction to comfort and convenience can create an opportunity for us [people] to reconnect with what we really value and with the qualities of life that really can sustain us - which include reconnecting with our roles as citizens, community members, and human beings Picture Quote #1

Excess consumption doesn’t make people happy. We can continue to provide for our needs, but we can’t continue the endless pursuit of ever more consumer goods. There is no energy source that can provide enough consumer goods to meet our human and emotional needs; there never has been, and that’s why it’s been such a fruitless pursuit Picture Quote #1

Our security doesn’t come from turning away from the hard stuff; it comes from the knowledge that we can handle it Picture Quote #1

It’s really hard to change the world when your first priority is making sure that the little world around yourself doesn’t change Picture Quote #1

I would never go to jail to protect animals or plants or wilderness. For me, it’s about the people Picture Quote #1

With a nonviolent movement we are still inviting a strong reaction from the government or ruling authorities. We are inviting a powerful reaction against ourselves. But it undermines the moral legitimacy of our current government. That is the path we need to pursue. Rather than reinforcing their legitimacy we need to undermine their legitimacy Picture Quote #1

If we want to change that status quo, we might have to work outside of those rules because the legal pathways available to us have been structured precisely to make sure we don’t make any substantial change Picture Quote #1

This is not going away. At this point of unimaginable threats on the horizon, this is what hope looks like. In these times of a morally bankrupt government that has sold out its principles, this is what patriotism looks like. With countless lives on the line, this is what love looks like, and it will only grow Picture Quote #1

The reality is not that I lack respect for the law; it’s that I have greater respect for justice Picture Quote #1
