More quotes by Rachel Carson
Beginnings are apt to be shadowy and so it is the beginnings of the great mother life, the sea.
Rachel Carson
The more I learned about the use of pesticides, the more appalled I became. I realized that here was the material for a book. What I discovered was that everything which meant most to me as a naturalist was being threatened, and that nothing I could do would be more important.
Rachel Carson
Drink in the beauty and wonder at the meaning of what you see.
Rachel Carson
Nature reserves some of her choice rewards for days when her mood may appear to be somber.
Rachel Carson
This is an era of specialists, each of whom sees his own problem and is unaware of or intolerant of the larger frame into which it fits.
Rachel Carson
Now I truly believe that we in this generation must come to terms with nature, and I think we're challenged, as mankind has never been challenged before, to prove our maturity and our mastery, not of nature but of ourselves.
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
As crude a weapon as a cave man's club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life.
Rachel Carson
For all at last return to the sea- to Oceanus, the ocean river, like the ever-flowing stream of time, the beginning and the end.
Rachel Carson
To understand the living present, and the promise of the future, it is necessary to remember the past.
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 lasting pleasures of contact with the natural world are not reserved for scientists but are available to anyone who will place himself under the influence of earth, sea and sky and their amazing life.
Rachel Carson
I like to define biology as the history of the earth and all its life - past, present, and future.
Rachel Carson
To the bird watcher, the suburbanite who derives joy from birds in his garden, the hunter, the fisherman or the explorer of wild regions, anything that destroys the wildlife of an area for even a single year has deprived him of pleasure to which he has a legitimate right. This is a valid point of view.
Rachel Carson
One summer night, out on a flat headland, all but surrounded by the waters of the bay, the horizons were remote and distant rims on the edge of space.
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 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
Conservation is a cause that has no end. There is no point at which we will say our work is finished.
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
But most of all I shall remember the monarchs, that unhurried westward drift of one small winged form after another, each drawn by some invisible force.
Rachel Carson
