"If I had the influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over
the christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in

throughout life, an unfailing antidote against the boredom and
disenchantment of later years, sterile preoccupations with things that are
artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength."

- Rachel Carson
