"But man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself. Why should we tolerate a diet of weak poisons, a home in insipid surroundings, a circle of acquaintances who are not quite our enemies, the noise of motors with just enough relief to prevent insanity? Who would want to live in a world which is just not quite fatal?"
-Rachel Carson (1907-1964), *Silent Spring, 1962.
