What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?
E. M. Forster
What the eyes perceive in herbs or stones or trees is not yet a remedy; the eyes see only the dross.
Paracelsus
What the New Yorker calls home would seem like a couple of closets to most Americans, yet he manages not only to live there but also to grow trees and cockroaches right on the premises.
Russell Baker
What we call wisdom is the result of all the wisdom of past ages. Our best institutions are like young trees growing upon the roots of the old trunks that have crumbled away.
Henry Ward Beecher
What you compose with is neither here nor there, you compose with words, or you compose with stone plants and trees, or you compose with events; the Sheriff's officer, or whatever.
Ian Hamilton Finlay
When I first started, it was really an innocent response to the needs of women in rural areas. When we started planting trees to meet their needs, there was nothing beyond that. I did not see all the issues that I have to come to deal with.
Wangari Maathai
When I was in pre-production for Trees Lounge, I was hearing the cinematographer talking with the production designer about colours and this and that, and feeling like I was losing control.
Steve Buscemi
When I write stories I am like someone who is in her own country, walking along streets that she has known since she was a child, between walls and trees that are hers.
Natalia Ginzburg
When we distributed the paper and crayons, they were fighting over the blue crayon. Everyone wanted to start with the blue, and that was the water. One drawing shows the trees under water. I was really moved.
Connie Sellecca
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.
Christina Rossetti
Why are there trees I never walk under but large and melodious thoughts descend upon me?
Walt Whitman
Working with plants, trees, fences and walls, if they practice sincerely they will attain enlightenment.
Dogen Zenji
Yesterday I staked off the ground on the hill for an orchard. I want to get 1000 apple trees agrowing.
Ezra Cornell
You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters.
Saint Bernard
Your soul is a dark forest. But the trees are of a particular species, they are genealogical trees.
Marcel Proust
