“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

3000 scholarly citations of The Ecological Thought

 I loved writing that book. I wrote it in three pages then I just kept adding sentences so that in the end, it was the right kind of size. It took about eight weeks. I'm eternally grateful to Harvard for publishing Ecology without Nature, because that let me write this one. This is the one Gary Snyder said was a philosophy book, the first person to have used that word on me.
