Religion and the Order of Nature Book

"The environment crisis if before anything else a spiritual crisis"

"It is the secularized worldview that reduces nature to a purely material domain cut of from the world of the Spirit to be plundered at will for what is usually called human welfare, but which really means the illusory satisfaction of a never-ending greed without which consumer society would not exist."

"Unless man realizes his relativity in light of the Absolute, he is bound to absolutize himself and his opinions no matter how hard he tries to demonstrate an unintelligent humility vis-à-vis the animals and plants or nebulae and molecules."

"For the be truly human is to transcend the human. To be satisfied with the merely human is to fall ultimately below the human state."
