Repair Quotes

On the deliberate work of rebuilding what's broken.

These quotes cover repair on every scale, from the Endangered Species Act protecting declining wildlife, to banks recapitalizing after a financial crash, to a redwood tree that regrows from its own stump after the damage of logging and fire. Repair, in each case, is framed as deliberate work, not luck.
