“Over increasingly large areas of the United States, spring now comes unheralded by the return of the birds, and the early mornings are strangely silent where once they were filled with the beauty of bird song.”
“As crude a weapon as the cave man's club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life.”
“If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, 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.”
“Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.”
“In every out-thrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth.”
“For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death.”
“In an age when man has forgotten his origins and is blind even to his most essential needs for survival, water along with other resources has become the victim of his indifference.”
