Arne Næss
“...er det meget sterke krefter som søker å erstatte friluftsliv med mekanisert miljøødeleggende og konkurranseformet opphold i natur.”
― Arne Næss, Ecology, Community and Lifestyle

Gloria Steinem
“Or perhaps it's "activist," but on environmental and economic problems, without understanding that pressuring women to have too many children is the biggest cause of environmental distress, and economic courses should start with reproduction, not just production.”
― Gloria Steinem, My Life on the Road
