her." (William
Wordsworth)
"This
feeling of being lonely
and very temporary
visitors in the
universe is in flat
contradiction to
everything known about
man (and all other
living organisms) in
the sciences. We do not
‘come into’ the
world; we come out
of it, as leaves from a
tree." (Alan
Watts)
"The
more lightly we walk on
this earth the more she
gives to us."
(Rich Heffern)

another." (Author

"We
are bleeding at the
roots, because we are
cut off from the earth
and sun and stars, and
love is a grinning
mockery, because, poor
blossom, we plucked it
from its stem on the
tree of Life, and
expected it to keep on
blooming in our
civilized vase on the
table." (D. H.
Lawrence)
"Earth,
with her thousand
voices, praises
God." (Samuel
Taylor Coleridge)
"The

thin air, but to walk
on earth." (Thich
Nhat Hanh)
"Whatever
befalls the earth
befalls the sons of the
earth. Man does not
weave the web of life,
he is merely a strand
in it. Whatever he does
to the web, he does to
himself." (Chief
Seattle)
"The
first step in the
ecological journey is
to fall in love with
the beauty of this
place, so that we will
defend it and liberate
it when justice
threatens and abuses
it." (Mathew Fox)
"If
we are to restore some
kind of balance to the
relationship between
population and earth
resources, we will have
to find ways to shift
human beings from the
present retreat from
individual
responsibility to a
recognition of just how
creative and
significant each
individual can
be." (Margaret
Mead)
"I
only went out for a
walk, and finally
concluded to stay out
till sundown, for going
out, I found, was
really going in."
(John Muir)
