Aldo Leopold

Quotes

• “Nonconformity is the highest evolutionary attainment of social animals.”

• “Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land.”

• “We stand guard over works of art, but species representing the work of aeons are stolen from under our noses.”

• “He who hopes for spring with upturned eye never sees so small a thing as Draba. He who despairs of spring with downcast eye steps on it, unknowingly. He who searches for spring with his knees in the mud finds it, in abundance.”

• “Once you learn to read the land, I have no fear of what you will do to it, or with it. And I know many pleasant things it will do to you.”
