“Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.

― Chief Seattle (Sealth), Suquamish Chief

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“We don’t have to fall into the same category to be of equal value.”
