Unless we have courage to recognize cruelty for what it is - whether its victim is human or animal - we cannot expect things to be much better in the world.

More quotes by Rachel Carson
Those who love and free nature are never alone.
Rachel Carson
But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.
Rachel Carson
Autumn comes to the sea with a fresh blaze of phosphorescence, when every wave crest is aflame. Here and there the whole surface may glow with sheets of cold fire, while below schools of fish pour through the water like molten metal.
Rachel Carson
For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories and it's a pity we use it so little.
Rachel Carson
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.
Rachel Carson
Like the resource it seeks to protect, wildlife conservation must be dynamic, changing as conditions change, seeking always to become more effective.
Rachel Carson
Every mystery solved brings us to the threshold of a greater one.
Rachel Carson
It is also an era dominated by industry, in which the right to make a dollar at whatever cost is seldom challenged.
Rachel Carson
By suggestion and example, I believe children can be helped to hear the many voices about them. Take Time to listen and talk about the voices of the earth and what they mean-the majestic voice of thunder, the winds, the sound of surf or flowing streams.
Rachel Carson
Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the earth, are never alone or weary of life.
Rachel Carson
Conservation is a cause that has no end. There is no point at which we will say our work is finished.
Rachel Carson
If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.
Rachel Carson
The question is whether any civilization can wage relentless war on life without destroying itself, and without losing the right to be called civilized.
Rachel Carson
Our attitude towards plants is a singularly narrow one. If we see any immediate utility in a plant we foster it. If for any reason we find its presence undesirable or merely a matter of indifference, we may condemn it to destruction forthwith.
Rachel Carson
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
Rachel Carson
Always the edge of the sea remains an elusive and indefinable boundary. The shore has a dual nature, changing with the swing of the tides, belonging now to the land, now to the sea.
Rachel Carson
As crude a weapon as a cave man's club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life.
Rachel Carson
I am always more interested in what I am about to do than what I have already done.
Rachel Carson
Even in the vast and mysterious reaches of the sea we are brought back to the fundamental truth that nothing lives to itself.
Rachel Carson
There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature.
Rachel Carson
