Because life is robust, Because life is bigger than equations, stronger than money, stronger than guns and poison and bad zoning policy, stronger than capitalism, Because Mother Nature bats last, and Mother Ocean is strong, and we live inside our mothers forever, and Life is tenacious and you can never kill it, you can never buy it, So Life is going to dive down into your dark pools, Life is going to explode the enclosures and bring back the commons, O you dark pools of money and law and quantitudinal stupidity, you oversimple algorithms of greed, you desperate simpletons hoping for a story you can understand, Hoping for safety, hoping for cessation of uncertainty, hoping for ownership of volatility, O you poor fearful jerks, Life! Life! Life! Life is going to kick your ass. Kim Stanley Robinson
About This Quote

The above quote is a brilliant and profound statement on the nature of life, the triumphs of living, and the resilience of the human spirit. It is an important reminder that our existence is not something that can be controlled by money, guns, or even laws. The reality of life is that it will always find a way. It will always find a way to fight back.

Life cannot be bought, only rented. Life cannot be killed, only postponed. Life will always take what you have given it and come back more powerful than ever before.
