William Cronon
“The dream of an unworked natural landscape is very much the fantasy of people who have never themselves had to work the land to make a living.”
William Cronon

Richard Powers
“We’ve learned a little about a few of them, in isolation. But nothing is less isolated or more social than a tree.”
Richard Powers, The Overstory

José Donoso
“Los árboles ya no crecerían desde su voz. Hoy, ella dejaría de ser todo el paisaje y toda la ciudad, para ser sólo otro individuo en la ciudad y otra mancha en el paisaje.”
José Donoso, Este domingo

William Cronon
“As soon as we label something as "natural", we attach to it the powerful implication that any change from its current state would degrade and damage the way it is "supposed" to be.”
William Cronon, Uncommon Ground: Rethinking the Human Place in Nature

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“Why are fewer and fewer young Americans going into science each year?' I told him that the young were impressed by the war crimes trials at Nuremberg. They were afraid that careers in science could all too easily lead to the commission of war crimes. They don't want to work on the development of new weapons. Thet don't want to make discoveries which will lead to improved weapons. They don't want to work for corporations that pollute water or atmosphere or raid the public treasury. So they go into other fields. They become physicists who are so virtuous they don't go into physics at all.”
Kurt Vonnegut
