Ecocentrism Quotes

“One day I shall no longer exist, and no one will cut the meadow, the thickets will encroach upon it and later the forest will push as far as the wall and win back the land that man has stolen from it. Sometimes my thoughts grow confused, and it is as if the forest has put down roots in me, and is thinking its old, eternal thoughts with my brain. And the forest doesn't want human beings to come back.”
― Marlen Haushofer, The Wall

“I can't speak the language of science without a corresponding poetry.”
― Paul Kingsnorth, Confessions of a Recovering Environmentalist and Other Essays
