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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

A rainy day is the perfect time for a walk in the woods.

The lasting pleasures of contact with the natural world are not reserved for scientists but are available to anyone who will place himself under the influence of earth, sea and sky and their amazing life.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

Always the edge of the sea re...

Always the edge of the sea remains an elusive and indefinable boundary. The shore has a dual nature, changing with the swing of the tides, belonging now to the land, now to the sea.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

One way to open your eyes is ...

One way to open your eyes is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew i would never see it again?

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

We live in a scientific age, ...

We live in a scientific age, yet we assume that knowledge of science is the prerogative of only a small number of human beings, isolated and priestlike in their laboratories. This is not true. The materials of science are the materials of life itself. Science is part of the reality of living; it is the way, the how and the why for everything in our experience.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

To stand at the edge of the s...

To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of years, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.

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.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

I believe natural beauty has ...

I believe natural beauty has a necessary place in the spiritual development of any individual or any society. I believe that whenever we substitute something man-made and artificial for a natural feature of the earth, we have retarded some part of man's spiritual growth.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

We still talk in terms of con...

We 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. Man's attitude toward nature is today critically important simply because we have now acquired a fateful power to alter and destroy nature. But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

The most alarming of all man'...

The most alarming of all man's assaults upon the environment is the contamination of air, earth, rivers, and sea with dangerous and even lethal materials.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

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

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

Even in the vast and mysterious reaches of the sea we are brought back to the fundamental truth that nothing lives to itself.

Rachel Carson 172 quotes

We stand now where two roads ...

We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road - the one less traveled by - offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.
