More quotes by 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
We are not truly civilized if we concern ourselves only with the relation of man to man. What is important is the relation of man to all life.
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
When we go down to the low-tide line, we enter a world that is as old as the earth itself - the primeval meeting place of the elements of earth and water, a place of compromise and conflit and eternal change.
Rachel Carson
The 'control of nature' is a phrase conceived in arrogance, . . . when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man . . . . It is our alarming misfortune that so primitive a science has armed itself with the most modern and terrible weapons, and that in turning them against the insects it has also turned them against the earth.
Rachel Carson
I am always more interested in what I am about to do than what I have already done.
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
Conservation is a cause that has no end. There is no point at which we will say our work is finished.
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
Here and there awareness is growing that man, far from being the overlord of all creation, is himself part of nature, subject to the same cosmic forces that control all other life. Man's future welfare and probably even his survival depend upon his learning to live in harmony, rather than in combat, with these forces.
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
For mankind as a whole, a possession infinitely more valuable than individual life is our genetic heritage, our link with past and future... Yet genetic deterioration through man-made agents is the menace of our time.
Rachel Carson
Beginnings are apt to be shadowy and so it is the beginnings of the great mother life, the sea.
Rachel Carson
The human race is challenged more than ever before to demonstrate our mastery, not over nature but of ourselves.
Rachel Carson
The beauty of the living world I was trying to save has always been uppermost in my mind - that, and anger at the senseless, brutish things that were being done. . . . Now I can believe I have at least helped a little.
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
Every mystery solved brings us to the threshold of a greater one.
Rachel Carson
Nature reserves some of her choice rewards for days when her mood may appear to be somber.
Rachel Carson
Play, Incorporating Animistic and Magical Thinking Is Important Because It: Fosters the healthy, creative and emotional growth of a child Forms the best foundation for later intellectual growth. Provides a way in which children get to know the world and creates possibilities for different ways of responding to it. Fosters empathy and wonder.
Rachel Carson
Then the song of a whitethroat, pure and ethereal, with the dreamy quality of remembered joy.
Rachel Carson
