Allie Fox: It's an absolute sin to accept the decadence
of obsolescence. Why do things get worse and worse? They
don't have to. They could get better and better. We accept
that things fall apart.
Allie Fox: We eat when we're not hungry, drink when we're
not thirsty. We buy what we don't need and throw away everything
that's useful. Why sell a man what he wants? Sell him what
he doesn't need. Pretend he's got eight legs and two stomachs
and money to burn. It's wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Allie Fox: Everything we need is here. Right here. We can
live simply: gardening, beach combing. I'm a changed man,
mother. No more chemicals or poisons. If what you want isn't
washed up on this beach, you probably don't need it.
Charlie: Once I had believed in father and the world had
seemed small and old. Now he was gone and I wasn't afraid
to love him anymore. And the world seemed limitless.
