Bryant H. McGill Quotes

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

We are all part of the ecosystem.

We are all an integral part of the chain of life.

Everything here is alive thanks to the living of everything else.

In nature nothing exists alone.

It turns out that all life is interconnected with all other life.

What is essential - the one thing that could stop us being coarsened to other lives - is that we feel a great, living wave of animal life all around us, covering the earth.

Nature as a poet, an enthusiastic workingman, becomes more and more visible the farther and higher we go.

The living environment is the biosphere, the thin layer around the world of living organisms. We're part of that. Our existence is dependent on it in ways that people haven't even begun to appreciate. Our existence depends not just on its existence, but its stability and its richness.

We are connected to each other not only as humans, but to every living thing on the planet.

There is no separation between mind and body... Self and other co-arise and fall away all the time.

Even things which seem separate and finished are infinitely connected and will infinitely connect. This connection happens as soon as you let it, as soon as you engage - as soon as you even attempt to engage.

Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does not depend on us. We are not the only experiment.

I am two with nature.
