Such a beautiful quote!
and yet, how do we treat nature?
Canadian astrophysicist Hubert Reeves said : « Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is the God he’s worshipping. »
Not to debate how exact this statement is, but I like this vision.
