Wendell Berry
“...the care of the earth is our most ancient and most worthy and, after all, our most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it, and to foster its renewal, is our only legitimate hope.”
Wendell Berry, The Art of the Commonplace: The Agrarian Essays

Viktor E. Frankl
“I recommend that the Statue of Liberty on the East Coast be supplemented by a Statue of Responsiblity on the West Coast.”
Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Richard Rohr
“God is always bigger than the boxes we build for God, so we should not waste too much time protecting the boxes.”
Richard Rohr, Everything Belongs: The Gift of Contemplative Prayer

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”
Rumi

Susan Freinkel
“If you can't reuse or repair an item, do you ever really own it? Do you ever really own it? Do you ever develop the sense of pride and proprietorship that comes from maintaining an object in fine working order?

We invest something of ourselves in our material world, which in turn reflects who we are. In the era of disposability that plastic has helped us foster, we have increasingly invested ourselves in objects that have no real meaning in our lives. We think of disposable lighters as conveniences -- which they indisputably are; ask any smoker or backyard-barbecue chef -- and yet we don't think much about the tradeoffs that that convenience entails.”
Susan Freinkel, Plastic: A Toxic Love Story
