"The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts. […] 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, Silent Spring (via mutualaddiction)
