“Vitally, the human race is dying. It is like a great uprooted tree, with its roots in the air. We must plant ourselves again in the universe.”
“Some trees are too deeply rooted to move … And if they are uprooted, they will die…”
“When we reject our origins, we become the product of whatever soil that we find ourselves planted; the colors of our leaves change as we consume borrowed nutrients with borrowed roots and, like a tree, we grow.”
“To the great tree-loving fraternity we belong. We love trees with universal and unfeigned love, and all things that do grow under them or around them - the whole leaf and root tribe.”
“If a tree dies, plant another in its place.”
“The roots of all commonwealth are planted in the understanding that we are all the same human beings”
