Quotes by Michael W. Fox  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Through nature, through the evolutionary continuum, and ecological relatedness and interdependence of all things, we are as much a part of the wolf as the wolf is a part of us. And as we destroy or demean nature, wolves, or any creature, great or small, we do no less to ourselves.”
― Michael W. Fox, The Soul of the Wolf: A Meditation on Wolves and Man
