“It is tempting to try to outline how societies would be structured if the majority, and not only a cultural minority of humans, were somewhat more in love with or at least mildly appreciative of life in all its diversity and richness.”
—Arne Næss (1912-2009); Norwegian philosopher and environmentalist, initiator of the deep ecology movement
“Organisms, ways of life, and interactions in the biosphere in general, exhibit complexity of such an astoundingly high level as to color the general outlook of ecologists. Such complexity makes thinking in terms of vast systems inevitable. It also makes for a keen, steady perception of the profound human ignorance of biospherical relationships and therefore of the effect of disturbances.”
—Arne Naess, Deep Ecology
Jeg antar ar jeg ligger sånn midt mellom psykopat og psykotiker, med av og til fredelige øyeblikk i almunnelig nevrose.
I assume I am somewhere in the middle between being a psychopath and a psychotic, with an occational peaceful moment of ordinary neurosis.
