Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.
When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.
What we are doing to the forests of the world is but a mirror reflection of what we are doing to ourselves and to one another.
There are no passengers on spaceship earth. We are all crew.
I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
