Rachel Carson Quotes


"In every outthrust headland, in every curving beach, in every grain of sand there is a story of the earth." ~Rachel Carson (1907-1964)

“It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose, should now be threatened by the activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist: the threat is rather to life itself.” ~Rachel Carson

“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.” ~Rachel Carson

"There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter." ~Rachel Carson

"There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring." ~Rachel Carson

"Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.” ~Rachel Carson

"Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life." ~Rachel Carson

“To stand at the edge of the sea, to sense the ebb and flow of the tides, to feel the breath of a mist moving over a great salt marsh, to watch the flight of shore birds that have swept up and down the surf lines of the continents for untold thousands of year, to see the running of the old eels and the young shad to the sea, is to have knowledge of things that are as nearly eternal as any earthly life can be.” ~Rachel Carson (1907-1964, biologist)
