THOMAS BERRY Quotes

“Teaching children about the natural world should be seen as one of the most important events in their lives.” ~Thomas Berry

"The natural world is the larger sacred community to which we belong. To be alienated from this community is to become destitute in all that makes us human. To damage this community is to diminish our own existence." ~Thomas Berry

"The universe is composed of subjects to be communed with, not objects to be exploited. Everything has its own voice. Thunder and lightening and stars and planets, flowers, birds, animals, trees, -- all these have voices, and they constitute a community of existence that is profoundly related." ~Thomas Berry, 1914
