"A few days ago, I stood in front of a federal judge as he sentenced me to six years in prison on monkeywrenching charges; I had destroyed machinery with the intention of slightly slowing the accelerating destruction of our planet. […] We humans are collectively killing this planet and dooming our own children by indulging in an orgy of consumption and denial."
— Marc Davis
