Submitted in a letter to National Geographic, published in the November 2007 issue:
"The suffering will not begin to end until we treat the living world with the humility necessary to bring all our knowledge of its subtlety and intricacy to bear on these problems."
-- Attributed to Rachel Carson, by letter-writer Marcia Phillips.
What do you think this means?

And in this humble observation, therefore, lies the keys to ending human misery.
