Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or resources:

    Show me one thing here on earth which has begun well and not ended badly. The proudest palpitations are engulfed in a sewer, where they cease throbbing, as though having reached their natural term: this downfall constitutes the heart’s drama and the negative meaning of history.
    E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)

    The poor tread lightest on the earth. The higher our income, the more resources we control and the more havoc we wreak.
    Paul Harrison (b. 1936)
