Quote by Joseph Wood Krutch
If people destroy something replaceable made by mankind, they are called vandals if they destroy something irreplaceable made by God, they are called developers.
Summary
This quote suggests a critique of humanity's priorities and values. It points out a discrepancy in how society reacts to destruction: when people damage or destroy replaceable things created by humans, they are condemned as vandals, signifying a negative perception. However, when they harm or destroy irreplaceable natural resources or creations of God, they are often seen as developers, implying progress or advancement. The quote challenges society's tendency to prioritize material possessions over the invaluable and finite wonders of nature.
