Rachel Carson - From the Children category:
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. (Rachel Carson)

The edge of the sea is a strange and beautiful place. (Rachel Carson)
Rachel Carson - From the Future category:
It is ironic to think that man might determine his own future by something so seemingly trivial as the choice of an insect spray... A Who's Who of pesticides is therefore of concern to us all. (Rachel Carson)

It is not half so important to know as to feel. (Rachel Carson)
Rachel Carson - From the Journey category:
We stand now where two roads diverge. But unlike the roads in Robert Frost's familiar poem, they are not equally fair. The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road - the one 'less traveled by' - offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth. (Rachel Carson)

Who would want to live in a world which is just not quite fatal? (Rachel Carson)

For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories and it's a pity we use it so little. (Rachel Carson)
