Rachel Carson was the author of " Silent Spring", which warned Americans against the use of chemical pesticides, such as DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane).
“Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poison on the surface of the earth without making it unfit for all life? They should not be called ‘insecticides’ but ‘biocides.'"
-Rachel Carson

"Underlying all of these problems of introducing contamination into our world is the question of moral responsibility -- responsibility not only to our own generation but to those of the future."
- Rachel Carson
“The aim of science is to discover and illuminate truth...If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there, but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.”
-Rachel Carson
