• El océano es el único entorno ajeno y potencialmente hostil del planeta en el que solemos adentrarnos sin pensar en los animales que lo habitan, cómo se comportan, cómo se mantienen y cómo nos perciben. No conozco a nadie que se adentre en la jungla de Malasia armado únicamente con un bañador, un tubo de crema bronceadora y un libro, y sin embargo es precisamente así como nos acercamos a los océanos.

  Peter Benchley

• Aparte de la influencia hostil del hombre, el mundo orgánico y el inorgánico están ... unidos por tales relaciones y adaptaciones mutuas que aseguran, si no la permanencia y el equilibrio absolutos de ambos ... al menos una sucesión muy lenta y gradual de cambios en esas condiciones. Pero el hombre es en todas partes un agente perturbador. Dondequiera que pone su pie, las armonías de la naturaleza se convierten en discordias.

• If the Revolution has the right to destroy bridges and art monuments whenever necessary, it will stop still less from laying its hand on any tendency in art which, no matter how great its achievement in form, threatens to disintegrate the revolutionary environment or to arouse the internal forces of the Revolution, that is, the proletariat, the peasantry and the intelligentsia, to a hostile opposition to one another. Our standard is, clearly, political, imperative and intolerant.

• Muchos profesores piensan que los niños son adultos inmaduros. Si pensáramos en los adultos como niños atrofiados, la enseñanza sería mejor y más "respetuosa". Muchos adultos "bien adaptados" son personas amargadas, poco creativas, asustadizas, sin imaginación y bastante hostiles. En lugar de suponer que nacieron así, o que eso es lo que implica ser adulto, podríamos considerarlos personas dañadas por su educación y crianza.

• Life expects of you duties which appear repugnant to you. You must now know that the most important thing is not duties but what permits you to be someone good and just. There are many who will say to you that this is a piece of asocial advice, but you only have to reply to them: When the forms of society are so hard and hostile to life, it is more important to be asocial than inhuman

• 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.

• Well, biology today as I see it has an amiable look - quite different from the 19th-century view that the whole arrangement of nature is hostile, 'red in tooth and claw.' That came about because people misread Darwin's 'survival of the fittest.'

• I admire our ancestors, whoever they were. I think the first self-conscious person must have shaken in his boots. Because as he becomes self-conscious, he's no longer part of nature. He sees himself against nature. He looks at the vastness of the universe and it looks hostile.
