We cannot have peace among men whose hearts find delight in killing any living creature.
Rachel CarsonWhen we go down to the low-tide line, we enter a world that is as old as the earth itself - the primeval meeting place of the elements of earth and water, a place of compromise and conflit and eternal change.

Rachel CarsonWe still talk in terms of conquest. We still haven't become mature enough to think of ourselves as only a tiny part of a vast and incredible universe.

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