A margin of life is developed by Nature for all living things - including man. All life forms obey Nature's demands - except man, who has found ways of ignoring them.
Eugene M. Poirot, Our Margin of Life, 1978
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
Mohandas K. Gandhi
From the level of pragmatic, everyday knowledge to modern natural science, the knowledge of nature derives from man's primary coming to grips with nature; at the same time it reacts back upon the system of social labour and stimulates its development.
Jurgen HabermasFor a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
Richard P. Feynman
The system of nature, of which man is a part, tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting, self-cleansing. Not so with technology.E.F. Schumacher, Small is Beautiful, 1973
The tourist business is a trap, it is a tainted honey;
Man clearly should have stayed in bed, and not invented money.Kenneth E. Boulding, "The Ballad of Ecological Awareness," in M. Taghi Farvar and John P. Milton, eds., The Careless Technology, 1972
