- Laura Dern

About this Quote

This quote by Laura Dern speaks to the hubris of mankind in thinking that we can control nature. It is a caution that when we believe we can manage the natural world, we remain in threat of overstepping our boundaries and triggering more damage than excellent. Nature is powerful and unpredictable, and when we try to control it, we risk upsetting the fragile balance of the environment. We need to keep in mind that we are part of nature, not separate from it, and that we must appreciate and work with it, not against it. We must bear in mind our actions and their effects, and aim to reside in harmony with the natural world.
