Charles Thomas Brues Quote

In his ceaseless strides towards a domination of the material world, man has encountered many obstacles. Some of these are palpably of his own making. For many of those presented by his living environment, man is responsible only in so far as he forms a part of the intimately interdependent myriad of organisms which make up that environment.
