Quote #5 on Ecological Struggle Quotes >> Nature and Humanity
“In the ruthless transformation of our planet home -- the only planet, incidentally, we can comfortably live on -- we are concurrently destroying much that man's nature doted on in the past: a sense of intimately belonging, of being a part of a community in which each man had his place; a sense of being close to nature, of being close to the soil and to the beasts of the field that served him; a sense of being a part of the eternal and unhurried rhythm of life.”
