"Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The power that makes grass grow, fruit open, and guides the bird in flight is in us all."
-Anzia Yezierska.

"The frog does not drink up the pond in which he lives."-Indian Proverb

"When we try to pick out something by itself, we find it hitched to everything
else in the universe."-John Muir

"It is no use hearing arrogant demands by one group of countries, or refusals
to share by others. Resources are not infinite."-Mostafa Tolba

"The environmental crisis is an outward manifestation of a crisis of mind and
spirit. There could be no greater misconception of its meaning than to believe
it to be concerned only with endangered wildlife, human-made ugliness, and
pollution. These are part of it, but more importantly, the crisis is concerned
with the kind of creatures we are and what we must become in order to
survive."-Lynton K Caldwell

"Man always kills the things he loves, and so we the pioneers have killed our wilderness. Some say we had to. Be that as it may, I am glad I shall never be young without wild country to be young in. Of what avail are forty freedoms without a blank spot on the map?" -Aldo Leopold

"We are confident that the nature of the physical world permits continued improvement in humankind's economic lot in the long run indefinitely. Of course, there are always newly arising local problems shortages, and pollutions, due to climate or to increased populations and income. Sometimes temporary large-scale problems arise. But the nature of the world's physical conditions and the resilience in a well-functioning economic and social system enable us to overcome such problems, and the solutions usually leave us better off than if the problem had never arisen; that is the great lesson to be learned from human history." -Julian Simon
