“Last summer…I said I could never again listen happily to a thrush song if I had not done all I could. And last night the thoughts of all the birds and other creatures and all the loveliness that is in nature came to me with such a surge of deep happiness, that now I had done what I could—I had been able to complete it—now it had its own life.”
-Rachel Carson in a letter to Dorothy Freeman, January 1962 upon completion of Silent Spring as quoted in Figuring by Maria Popova
