Famous quotes containing the words rice, growing and/or ecology:

    “The arbitrary division of one’s life into weeks and days and hours seemed, on the whole, useless. There was but one day for the men, and that was pay day, and one for the women, and that was rent day. As for the children, every day was theirs, just as it should be in every corner of the world.”
    —Alice Caldwell Rice (1870–1942)

    “The community and family networks which helped sustain earlier generations have become scarcer for growing numbers of young parents. Those who lack links to these traditional sources of support are hard-pressed to find other resources, given the emphasis in our society on providing treatment services, rather than preventive services and support for health maintenance and well-being.”
    —Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)

    “... the fundamental principles of ecology govern our lives wherever we live, and ... we must wake up to this fact or be lost.”
    —Karin Sheldon (b. c. 1945)
