QUOTES

It is not man the ecological crisis threatens to destroy but the quality of human life.

"The belief that we can manage the Earth and improve on Nature is probably the ultimate expression of human conceit, but it has deep roots in the past and is almost universal."

"Man shapes himself through decisions that shape his environment."

Now and then in my dreams, I see a place where one might initiate and publicize programs to give the environmental movement a positive constructive philosophy that would complement the present defensive attitude of environmental conservation and protections."

"Human diversity makes tolerance more than a virtue; it makes it a requirement for survival."
