John Muir Quotes

Everything's interconnected. That's the way life is.

All is connected... no one thing can change by itself.

Nothing can be by itself alone, no one can be by himself or herself alone, everyone has to inter-be with every one else. That is why, when you look outside, around you, you can see yourself.

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.

I love the interrelatedness of things.

You carry Mother Earth within you. She is not outside of you. Mother Earth is not just your environment.

In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

We are part of this universe; we are in this universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts, is that the universe is in us.

We are each other's destiny.

Nothing to do with anything, something to do with everything.
