“Knowledge, Humboldt believed, had to be shared, exchanged and made available to everybody.”
― The Invention of Nature: The Adventures of Alexander von Humboldt, the Lost Hero of Science
― The Invention of Nature: The Adventures of Alexander von Humboldt, the Lost Hero of Science
“Nature is the domain of liberty,’ Humboldt said, because nature’s balance was created by diversity which might in turn be taken as a blueprint for political and moral truth. Everything, from the most unassuming moss or insect to elephants or towering oak trees, had its role, and together they made the whole. Humankind was just one small part. Nature itself was a republic of freedom.”

― The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt's New World
“The effects of the human species’ intervention were already ‘incalculable’, Humboldt insisted, and could become catastrophic if they continued to disturb the world so ‘brutally’. Humboldt would see again and again how humankind unsettled the balance of nature.”
