Daniel Quinn Quote

All too often the people of our culture think they’re really doing something if they’re out there fighting bad things and getting laws passed. Just look at what we’ve accomplished by outlawing drugs and waging a trillion-dollar War on Drugs! (Nothing!)

About Daniel Quinn

Daniel Clarence Quinn (October 11, 1935 – February 17, 2018) was an American author (primarily, novelist and fabulist), cultural critic, and publisher of educational texts, best known for his novel Ishmael, which won the Turner Tomorrow Fellowship Award in 1991 and was published the following year. Quinn's ideas are popularly associated with environmentalism, though he criticized this term for portraying the environment as separate from human life, thus creating a false dichotomy. Instead, Quinn referred to his philosophy as "new tribalism".
