“Trees are sacred places. Anyone who can speak to them, and who knows how to be attentive to them, will be able to discover what is true.”
“The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.”
“Trees give peace to the souls of men.”
“If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.”
“To be without trees would, in the most literal way, to be without our roots.”
“Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky.”
“Anyone who thinks fallen leaves are dead has never watched them dancing on a windy day.”
“The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.”
“Never think that there is nothing attractive in the world. There’s always something to inspire you to wonder about the form of a tree or the movement of leaves.”
“For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.”
