EXTINCTION, n. The raw material out of which theology created the future state.
Ambrose Bierce
Image
Maybe the honorable thing for our species to do is deny our programming, stop reproducing, walk hand in hand into extinction, one last midnight, brothers and sisters opting out of a raw deal.
Matthew McConaughey
Image
A widespread taste for pornography means that nature is alerting us to some threat of extinction.
J. G. Ballard
Image
As long as hierarchy persists, as long as domination organises humanity around a system of elites, the project of dominating nature will continue to exist and inevitably lead our planet to ecological extinction.
Murray Bookchin
Image
To dismiss the current extinction wave on the grounds that extinctions are normal events is like ignoring a genocidal massacre on the grounds that every human is bound to die at some time anyway.
Jared Diamond
Image
[On women:] We are all yeses. We are worthy enough, we passed inspection, we survived the great fetal oocyte extinctions. In that sense, at least - call it a mechanospiritual sense - we are meant to be. We are good eggs, every one of us.
Natalie Angier

Just one Bush justice on the court means left-wingers might have to start actually winning votes for their wacky ideas a prescription for liberal extinction.
Jay Severin

America has faced much more difficult times, including potential national extinction, without flinching.
Nick Clooney

We live in a time where we have more extinction happening on our planet than since the dinosaurs were wiped out 50 million years ago.
Jeff Corwin

Well lose more species of plants and animals between 2000 and 2065 than weve lost in the last 65 million years. If we dont find answers to these problems, were gonna be victims of this extinction event that were at fault for.
Paul Watson
Image
In this twenty-first century, there's no one like Sharona Muir who can write, in bright accurate language, animals real or imaginary in an updated bestiary that riffs on evolution, extinction, and what it means to be human among other species. We need this view, and you'll be right there with her on every page of Invisible Beasts.
John Felstiner
Image
For thousands of years it has been understood that, just as civilizations have to come to an end, there can even be times of global extinctions. But always there are people who know how to gather the essence of life and hold it safely, protect it and nurture it until the next seeding.
Peter Kingsley
Image
Hatred is a feeling which leads to the extinction of values.
Jose Ortega y Gasset
Image
We torture and kill two billion sentient living beings every week. 10,000 entire species are wiped out every year because of the actions of one, and we are now facing the sixth mass extinction in cosmological history. If any other organism did this, a biologist would consider them a virus.
Philip Wollen
Image
The folly of war is that it can have no natural end except in the extinction an entire people.
Joyce Carol Oates
Image
All of humanity is in peril of extinction if each one of us does not dare, now and henceforth, always to tell only the truth, and all the truth, and to do so promptly - right now.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Image
In America, the traditional routes to black identity have hardly been normal. Suicide (disappearance by imitation, or willed extinction), violence (hysterical religiosity, crime, armed revolt), and exemplary moral courage none of these is normal.
June Jordan
Image
This is a strange book: visionary and dark. It stutters out a kind of music: repeated phrases which accumulate errors and mutate as they go like chromosomes or, as Woodward puts it better, 'visible fissile ribbons.' It's as if we were present for the moments of creation and extinction. Uncanny Valley is ominous and beautiful.
Rae Armantrout
Image
There are certain prehistoric things that swim beyond extinction.
Karen Russell
Image
Only sometimes you can't feel anything about a subject without hypothesizing its extinction.
Richard Ford
Image
Looking at everything, I started to feel nauseous, as if the seventies had taken refuge here against extinction and were preparing to take over the world.
Kim Harrison
Image
If we don't cut carbon's money pipeline, we will pay for their gasoline with floods, droughts, fires, super storms, drowned cities, mass extinctions, wars, and collapsing civilizations.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Image
Our people still need support. Support us through writing your government officials. We are still on the verge of extinction, with continued injustices brought against us.
Leonard Peltier
Image
And I have lived since - as you have - in a period of cold war, during which we have ensured by our achievements in the science and technology of destruction that a third act in this tragedy of war will result in the peace of extinction.
Lester B. Pearson
