One of my favorite quotes: "The world appears beautiful so that the living may love being alive in it.”  — Carl Safina

... from his book, Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace.

I would also like to mention I listened to this book while doing a big driving tour of Eastern Montana during Covid for an article I was writing. Out in the middle of that vast place, Safina, who also reads the audio version, delivered the quote I mentioned just as I passed a sign for "Beauty Creek." It was quite a serendipitous moment. I pulled off the road and listened and listened to the line until I made sure I had it right in my notebook.
