There is always the need to carry on.
From Marjory Stoneman Douglas
All we need, really, is a change from a near frigid to a tropical attitude of mind.
There are no other Everglades in the world. They are, they have always been, one of the unique regions of the earth; remote, never wholly known. Nothing anywhere else is like them.
I take advantage of every thing I can - age, hair, disability - because my cause is just.
To be a friend of the Everglades is not necessarily to spend time wandering around out there.
They are unique in the simplicity, the diversity, the related harmony of the forms of life that they enclose.
Whoever wants me to talk, I'll come over and tell them about the necessity of preserving the Everglades.
The wealth of south Florida, but even more important, the meaning and significance of south Florida lies in the black muck of the Everglades and the inevitable development of this country to be the great tropic agricultural center of the world.
The miracle of light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slowly moving, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades. It is a river of grass.
Conservation is now a dead word.
