Man Against Nature Quotes

“To maintain our own economy,we are disturbing the nature's economy”
― Siddharth Seksaria

“Est vrai ce qui convient à l'homme. En lui, toute la nature est concentrée, lui seul a été créé dans toute la nature, et toute la nature n'est faite que pour lui.”
― Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain

“Whenever I hear someone boast of having conquered a mountain by climbing it or a wild river by paddling it, I am struck by the foolishness of this attitude. It seems to me a pitiful bravado in the face of a great and powerful mystery, like whistling in the dark to give oneself courage. Worse, it arrogantly pits the ego against the matrix of being, conveying the harmful illusion that one creature can dominate the creation of which it is a part and on which it depends for its very life.”
― Lorraine Anderson, Sisters of the Earth: Women's Prose and Poetry About Nature
