Quotes About Planet

~ Lindsay Wagner
People in general romanticize nature, and they make it out to be something that it isn't because humans are so awful. And yes, we are absolutely screwing up this planet, but that is only because we have the capabilities to do so. Animals are not better than us. They are not nicer than us.

Maybe they are right; there really is intelligent life, and when it discovers the strange inhabitants of Planet Earth, it has the sense to stay far away.
~ Noam Chomsky
On this side, one of the things we're concerned about is the quest for infinite growth (an unavoidable feature of capitalism) on a finite planet. With that imperative, the biosphere is now subsumed under the economy. This has to be reversed. That is, the biosphere is now seen in strictly utilitarian terms to be simply a storehouse of resources, and/or a receptacle for waste.
~ Noam Chomsky

Not as the plants and flowers of Earth, growing peacefully beneath a simple sun, were the blossoms of the planet Lophai. Coiling and uncoiling in double dawns; tossing tumultuously under vast suns of jade green and balas-ruby orange; swaying and weltering in rich twilights, in aurora-curtained nights, they resembled fields of rooted serpents that dance eternally to an other-worldly music.
~ Clark Ashton Smith
There's a planet out there somewhere. Fairly close, I'd guess. A freewheeling planet, not tied to any sun, although I gather that it could insert itself into a solar system any time it wishes." "That would take some doing. It would mess up the orbits of all the other planets." "Not necessarily," said Maxwell. "It wouldn't have to take an orbit in the same plane as the other planets. That would hold down the effect of its being there.
~ Clifford D. Simak
Alone and in the silence, I sensed the purpleness - the formless, subtle personality of the things that owned this planet. There was a friendliness, I thought, but a repulsive friendliness, the fawning friendliness of some monstrous beast. And I was afraid.

But the cornerstone of stability is to know that there is nothing wrong with the essential human being.
~ W. Timothy Gallwey

~ Lara Adrian
Sin embargo... vosotros no solo destruís la vida, sino que estáis atacando a las mismas condiciones necesarias para que la vida exista: la tierra, el aire, el mar. Algo que ni el mismo Lucifer se habría atrevido a hacer. Y lo más desconcertante de todo es que no parecéis ser conscientes de ello, que no es ese vuestro objetivo. Se trata, simplemente, de que vuestra forma de vida, vuestra simple existencia, es una mala noticia para el resto del planeta.
