with Betty Roszak, "Deep Form in Art and Nature" Alexandria 4, Vol.4 The Order of Beauty and Nature (1997) ed. David Fideler

“Since the late 19th century, aging has been the normal state of all industrial societies; it is a sustained trend. Societies designed to cater to the needs of aging populations will soon become the accepted political condition of our species. Acknowledging that fact will, at some point, slide so smoothly into the conventional wisdom that future generations may not realize that this is a major new feature of modern life, this is different, this is not what human culture was ever meant to be—and it all started now.”

The Voice of the Earth: An Exploration of Ecopsychology (2001)

“Life… becomes an anomalous puzzle that cannot be "explained" until scientists in laboratories find a way to animate the dead matter that is the normal condition of things. This amounts to saying that life has no "place" in the world until men—the gender that originally dominated the world and still does—can create it… in a laboratory and express it in a formula. Only then will we "understand" what life is.”

The Voice of the Earth: An Exploration of Ecopsychology (2001)

“This is the point at which the "rape of nature" ceases to be a metaphor. It is an accurate depiction… rape stems from a compulsive need to control, to control completely. …From …inadequacy flow fear, anger, the need to punish and subjugate. …the objective is… to dominate this elusive, troubling female so that she will do what she is ordered to do. …that requires the objectification of the other; she must become what he wants her to become.”

Origine: The Gendered Atom: Reflections on the Sexual Psychology of Science (1999), Ch.7 The Rape of Nature

“It will be enough to define the technocracy as that society in which those who govern justify themselves by appeal to technical experts who, in turn, justify themselves by appeal to scientific forms of knowledge. And beyond the authority of science, there is no appeal.”

“Goethe wondered at what point our instruments might be creating what we think we see out there in the world. …his question is still a good one. Every science of observation must take care not to get lost among its own artifacts.”

“When it is another human being who is being… objectified, everybody (except the rapist) can clearly see the act as a crime. But when we objectify the natural world, turning it into a dead or stupid thing, we have another word for that. Science.”
