Andre Gide
If the flower were not attached to its stem, it would flee at the approach of man, like the insect or the bird for the attribute of man on the earth, at least as long as he does not better understand his role, is to worry and frighten what he is not interested in taming for utilitarian purposes. Man is skillful in mistreating everything he can use
Andre Gide
