Rachel Carson Quotes:
"The human race is challenged more than ever before to demonstrate our mastery - not over nature but of ourselves."
“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. I have felt bound by a solemn obligation to do what I could – if I didn’t at least try I could never again be happy in nature.”
Rachel Carson's Silent Spring
Step inside the revolutionary book that changed America, “Silent Spring” as Rachel Carson reveals the reckless destruction of our living world. Written more than 55 years ago, “Silent Spring” inspired the Environmental Movement and has never been out of print. Silent Spring entered the words “ecology”, “reverence for life”” and “balance of nature” into our common language. It inspired a nation to proclaim “our fundamental right to a healthy environment.” It etched on our national consciousness the Jean Rostand words: “The obligation to endure, gives us the right to know.”
