• Incluso si pudiéramos utilizar toda la materia orgánica que tenemos -el estiércol animal, los desechos humanos, los residuos vegetales- y devolverla al suelo, no podríamos alimentar a más de 4.000 millones de personas.

• The value of the things is not in themselves autonomously, but that God made them, and thus they deserve to be treated with high respect. The tree in the field is to be treated with respect. It is not to be romanticized as the old lady romanticizes her cat (that is, she reads human reactions into it). This is wrong because it is not true. When you drive the axe into the tree when you need firewood, you are not cutting down a person; you are cutting down a tree. But while we should not romanticize the tree, we must realize God made it and it deserves respect because He made is as a tree.

  Francis Schaeffer

• The death of a man's wife is like cutting down an ancient oak that has long shaded the family mansion. Henceforth the glare of the world, with its cares and vicissitudes falls upon the old widower's heart, and there is nothing to break their force, or shield him from the full weight of misfortune. It is as if his right hand were withered; as if one wing of his angel was broken, and every movement that he made brought him to the ground.

  Alfonso de Lamartine

• Con el tiempo, las cuestiones medioambientales se complicaron mucho más. Es bastante fácil, si se sabe lo que se hace, impedir que una empresa vierta veneno en un lago donde nadan niños. Es mucho más difícil hacer frente a toda la miríada de gases de efecto invernadero emitidos por distintas fuentes, desde las refinerías petroquímicas hasta los cientos de millones de campesinos que talan árboles para sus cocinas increíblemente ineficaces.

• We’re turning everything on the planet into food for humans so we’re cutting down the rainforests, displacing all of the animals, and we’re doing all this to feed humans... ... Imagine if there were only 2 billion people polluting? We’re already overpopulated. I feel we’ve become a parasite on this planet. If this population keeps growing, we’ll just keep devouring the planet, and I don’t think it’s going to stand for that very long.

• Cuanto más nos separamos de la Tierra, más hostiles nos volvemos a lo femenino. Repudiamos nuestra pasión, nuestra creatividad y nuestra sexualidad. Al final, la propia Tierra se convierte en un lugar nefasto. Recuerdo que una curandera del Amazonas me dijo: "¿Sabes por qué están talando la selva tropical? Porque es húmeda, oscura, enmarañada y femenina.
