  "The man must be out of his normal mind who can burn in stoves this beauty, destroy what we cannot create again. Man is endowed with reason and creative power to increase what has been given him, but until now he has not created, only destroyed. There are fewer and fewer forests, the rivers are drying up, the wild creatures are becoming extinct, the climate is being ruined, and every day the earth is getting poorer and uglier. [...] I feel that I'm eccentric, I'm different from everybody else. When I begin talking about something earnestly [...] I can see by the expression in their eyes that they find me peculiar."

  Dr. Astrov in Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov
