David Suzuki

David Suzuki

David Suzuki
A book is like a single tree in a forest, in that it exists in conjunction with and because of a great many others around it.
David Suzuki
The event of creation did not take place so many eons ago, astronomically or biologically speaking. Creation is taking place every moment of our lives.
David Suzuki
What permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any group is doing on the planet. We don't know what details of a truly sustainable future are going to be like, but we need options, we need people experimenting in all kinds of ways and permaculturists are one of the critical gangs that are doing that.
David Suzuki
One of the joys of being a grandparent is getting to see the world again through the eyes of a child.
David Suzuki
