Like people, trees are all individuals.

Sometimes it's best to speak from ignorance: that way, you can see the wood without being distracted by the trees.

You know, when people look at a tree, they look at the leaves; they don't look at the spaces between the leaves. They're focused on the tree. I think there's an awareness of spaces or it wouldn't look like a tree to them.

Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.

Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.

A forest of these trees is a spectacle too much for one man to see.

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.

I was in my yard and thought that the tree was a living being. We take trees for granted. We don't believe they are as much alive as we are.

I have gone to the forest.

Trees are the earth's endless effort to speak to the listening heaven.
