Wendell Berry:

"We have lived by the assumption that what was good for us would begood for the world. We have been wrong. We must change our lives, sothat it will be possible to live by the contrary assumption that what isgood for the world will be good for us...
We must recover the sense of the majesty of the creation and the ability to be worshipful in its presence.
For it is only on the condition of humility and reverence before the world that our species will be able to remain in it."
