Blessed tree and blessed birds, that were to be neither saved nor damned.
Anthony Burgess
Image
Time has a different quality in a forest, a different kind of flow. Time moves in circles, and events are linked, even if it's not obvious that they are linked. Events in a forest occur with precision in the flow of tree time, like the motions of an endless dance. (p. 12)
Richard Preston
Image
Who ever lives looking for pleasure only, his senses uncontrolled, immoderate in his enjoyments, idle and weak, the tempter will certainly overcome him, as the wind blows down a weak tree.
Gautama Buddha
Image
There is no whit less enlightenment under the tree by your street than there was under the Buddha's bo tree. I invite you to go sit under that tree by your street.
Annie Dillard
Image
Trees have a curious relationship to the subject of the present moment. There are many created things in the universe that outlive us, that outlive the sun, even, but I can't think about them. I live with trees.
Annie Dillard
Image
My family tree consists of drug dealers, thugs, and killers.
Tupac Shakur
Image
Once you plant seeds of success, your tree will bear fierce fruit.
Tyra Banks
Image
The ground has on its clothes. The trees poke out of sheets and each branch wears the sock of God.
Anne Sexton
Image
For years I study. I look long at olive trees, all gray and silver, and watch the sunlight. Ah, yes, I am ver' lazy, but I see after I look long that it is perspective that give it this quality. Perspective, and absolute faith to the subject.
Ugo Mochi
Image
To read a paper book is another experience: you can do it on a ship, on the branch of a tree, on your bed, even if there is a blackout.
Umberto Eco
Image
In times that are dark and God seems far [away], I look for him in small ways - the innocent laughter of a child on an airplane, the way the rain falls down through tree branches, the aroma of honeysuckle as I ride my bike down the Natchez Trace, and through the love of friends who have carried me through the darkest times of my life.
Anne Marie Miller
Image
Before the moon I am, what a woman is, a woman of power, a woman's power, deeper than the roots of trees, deeper than the roots of islands, older than the Making, older than the moon.
Ursula K. Le Guin
Image
I didn't need to understand the hypostatic unity of the Trinity I just needed to turn my life over to whoever came up with redwood trees.
Anne Lamott
Image
God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought, disease, avalanches, and a thousand tempests and floods. But he cannot save them from fools.
John Muir
Image
The grounds of the place were dominated by several large, old willow trees that towered over the surrounding stone wall and swayed soundlessly in the wind like lost souls.
Haruki Murakami
Image
A tree is beautiful, but what's more, it has a right to life like water, the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on earth is inconceivable without trees.
Anton Chekhov
Image
Nothing living should ever be treated with contempt. Whatever it is that lives, a man, a tree, or a bird, should be touched gently, because the time is short. Civilization is another word for respect for life.
Elizabeth Goudge
Image
I'm interested in raw land and trees and fresh air and rivers and lots of animals around them.
Kent McCord
Image
When I behold the heavens as in their prime, And then the earth (though old) still clad in green, The stones and trees, insensible of time, Nor age nor wrinkle on their front are seen
Anne Bradstreet
Image
The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant meadow with a pond clear water in it. Some shady trees leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep end.
Anna Sewell
Image
The trees were full of silver-white sunlight and the meanest of them sparkled.
Flannery O'Connor
Image
If a person kills a tree before its time, it is like having murdered a soul.-Rabbi Nachman
Martin Buber
Image
I was self-conscious of what I would call my tree-trunk legs because they are very muscular... but now I've learned to love them.
Vanessa Hudgens
Image
Everyone speaks of himself with regard to his ownself, I am above and the others are below, whilst all of them are around the globe like the blossom springing on the branches of the Kadamba tree.
