Every mystery solved brings us to the threshold of a greater one.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

For all at last return to the...

For all at last return to the sea- to Oceanus, the ocean river, like the ever-flowing stream of time, the beginning and the end.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

If there is poetry in my book...

If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

There is no drop of water in ...

There is no drop of water in the ocean, not even in the deepest parts of the abyss, that does not know and respond to the mysterious forces that create the tide.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

Wonder and humility are whole...

Wonder and humility are wholesome emotions and they do not exist side by side with a lust for destruction.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

If having endured much, we at...

If having endured much, we at last asserted our 'right to know' and if, knowing, we have concluded that we are being asked to take senseless and frightening risks, then we should no longer accept the counsel of those who tell us that we must fill our world with poisonous chemicals, we should look around and see what other course is open to us.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

Have we fallen into a mesmeri...

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

Those who contemplate the bea...

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

The human race is challenged ...

The human race is challenged more than ever before to demonstrate our mastery, not over nature but of ourselves.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

If a child is to keep alive h...

If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement, and mystery of the world we live in.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

I am always more interested in what I am about to do than what I have already done.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

Now I truly believe that we i...

Now I truly believe that we in this generation must come to terms with nature, and I think we're challenged, as mankind has never been challenged before, to prove our maturity and our mastery, not of nature but of ourselves.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

The 'control of nature' is a ...

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.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

the sea is a place of mystery...

the sea is a place of mystery. One by one, the mysteries of yesterday have been solved. But the solution seems always to bring with it another, perhaps a deeper mystery. I doubt that the last, final mysteries of the sea will ever be resolved. In fact, I cherish a very unscientific hope that they will not be.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

Nature reserves some of her choice rewards for days when her mood may appear to be somber.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

The aim of science is to disc...

The aim of science is to discover and illuminate truth. And that, I take it, is the aim of literature, whether biography or history or fiction. It seems to me, then, that there can be no separate literature of science.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

A child's world is fresh and ...

A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

In every outthrust headland, ...

In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

Nothing is wasted in the sea;...

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.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

Only as a child's awareness a...

Only as a child's awareness and reverence for the wholeness of life are developed can his humanity to his own kind reach its full development.
