Rachel Carson Quotes

«As crude a weapon as the cave man's club, the chemical barrage has been hurled against the fabric of life»
«We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road / the one less traveled by / offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth.»
«It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility.»
«In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is the story of the earth.»
«For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories and it is a pity that we use it so little.»
Author: Rachel Carson | Keywords: recall, sense of smell

«My companion and I were alone with the stars: the misty river of the Milky Way flowing across the sky, the patterns of the constellations standing out bright and clear, a blazing planet low on the horizon.»
«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.»
«No witchcraft, no enemy action had silenced the rebirth of new life in this stricken world. The people had done it themselves.»
