But wherever the truth may lie, this much is crystal-clear: our bigger-and-better society is now like a hypochondriac, so obsessed with its own economic health as to have lost the capacity to remain healthy ... Nothing could be more salutary at this stage than a little healthy contempt for a plethora of material blessings. — Aldo Leopold
