“Without us, Earth will abide and endure; without her, however, we could not even be.”
Alan Weisman, The World Without Us

“All of us humans have myriad other species to thank. Without them, we couldn't exist. It's that simple, and we can't afford to ignore them, anymore than I can afford to neglect my precious wife--nor the sweet mother Earth that births and holds us all.

Without us, Earth will abide and endure; without her, however, we could not even be.”
Alan Weisman, The World Without Us

“You understand... just what the Taoists mean when they say that soft is stronger than hard.”
Alan Weisman, The World Without Us
