James E. Lovelock
We are the intelligent elite among animal life on earth and whatever our mistakes, [Earth] needs us. This may seem an odd statement after all that I have said about the way 20th century humans became almost a planetary disease organism. But it has taken [Earth] 2.5 billion years to evolve an animal that can think and communicate its thoughts. If we become extinct she has little chance of evolving another.
James Lovelock, The Vanishing Face of Gaia: A Final Warning

Ralph Waldo Emerson
The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn
Ralph Waldo Emerson
