"To me, Dr. Schweitzer is the one truly great individual our modern times have produced.
If we are to find our way
through the problems that
beset us, it will surely be in
large part through a wider understanding and application
of his principles."

RACHEL CARSON
Author of Silent Spring

To the man who is truly ethical all life is sacred, including that which from the human point of view seems lower on the scale.
…The morality we have lived by was fragmentary only.  We must abandon it in favor of the complete, all-embracing love expressed in “reverence for all life.”  That fragmentary morality of concern for human life alone was like a single tone floating in the air, incomplete because the base tone to produce the harmony was missing.  Reverence for life gives us the full chord, the harmony.”    
– Dr. Albert Schweitzer
