- The Right to be Cold
Our traditional hunting and fishing practices do not destroy habitat. Nor do our practices deplete animal populations, or create waste. That is to say, if we allow the Arctic to melt, we lose more than the planet that has nurtured us for all of human history. We lose the wisdom required for us to sustain it.
Dave Malloy
- Tchaikovsky's Child Song
This is just some body child, this is just some mind. And they can work against me; my mind can try to slow me, stop me, stunt me. My body likes to hurt me, block me, hunt me; hunt me down - like a wounded fox made slow with bourbon, made fat with chocolate, made lazy with blinking lights.
Dave Malloy
- The Great Comet of 1812
And this bright star, having traced its parabola, with inexpressible speed, through immeasurable space, seems suddenly to have stopped like an arrow piercing the earth - stopped for me.
