Parks are works of art just as a painting or sculpture is.

However one reaches the parks, the main thing is to slow down and absorb the natural wonders at leisure.

People don't remember each tree in a park but all of us benefit from the trees. And in a way, artists are like trees in a park.

Big cities are chaotic. And chaos for humans - who have experience from their ancestors - is the last step before conflict. So, in the park, every kind of visual contradiction has been eliminated.

Parks are idealizations of nature, but nature in fact is not a condition of the ideal.

Parkour is not just linear. There are moments that are intense and some that are lesser, so you have to move from one to another, and that becomes the musicality of Parkour.

I don't know of a single park without serious environmental problems.

What people ought to do is find out what a national park is to begin with.

Nothing can be more striking to one who is accustomed to the little inclosures called public parks in our American cities, than the spacious, open grounds of London. I doubt, in fact, whether any person fully comprehends their extent, from any of the ordinary descriptions of them, until he has seen them or tried to walk over them.

Civilization in our time is driven by materialism and troubled by pollution, over-population, corruption, and violence. National parks can hardly be uncoupled from the society around them, but that only makes it more important to protect them and keep them whole and pure.
