Nothing is wasted in the sea; every particle of material is used over and over again, first by one creature, then by another. And when in spring the waters are deeply stirred, the warm bottom water brings to the surface a rich supply of minerals, ready for use by new forms of life.

In nature nothing exists alone.

To understand the living present, and the promise of the future, it is necessary to remember the past.

The 'control of nature' is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and philosophy, when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man.

Science is part of the reality of living; it is the what, the how, and the why of everything in our experience.

But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.
