Rachel Carson

The chemical war is not a war against insects alone, it is a war against the earth and all its inhabitants.

We are poisoning our children's future with our shortsighted actions.

The most serious threat to mankind comes from within, from our own arrogance and ignorance.

The public has a right to know the truth, even if it is uncomfortable.

The greatest challenge of our time is to learn to live in harmony with nature, not against it.

I am not advocating for a return to the Stone Age, but for a more responsible approach to our use of technology.

The true meaning of conservation is to protect the earth's resources for future generations.

The earth is not ours to exploit, but to cherish and protect.

We are part of nature, and when we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves.

The time has come for us to make peace with the earth.

What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?

It is a truism that in this world of ours, just as in the world of the ancient Greeks, whom we have taught ourselves to admire, there is a certain fatalism.

We are dealing with the most dangerous substances in the world, and we are treating them with a casual indifference that borders on criminal.

The public is being misled, and it is a scandal of the highest order.

I am not afraid of controversy; I am afraid of silence in the face of such a grave threat.

The more we learn about these chemicals, the more terrifying the prospect becomes.

The chemical industry has created a Frankenstein monster, and now it is out of control.
