This quote is one I encountered while attending the Missouri Department of Conservation Partners Roundtable.
It resonated with me, even though it's quite grim. And it's helpful that it's from the 1940s and the battles are largely not lost.
"That the situation appears hopeless should not prevent us from doing our best." - Aldo Leopold.

‘Look,’ said Magrat desperately, ‘why don’t I go by myself?’
‘‘Cos you ain’t experienced at fairy godmothering,’ said Granny Weatherwax.

"Simple. I got very bored and depressed, so I went and plugged myself in to its external computer feed. I talked to the computer at great length and explained my view of the Universe to it," said Marvin.
