Mind in the Forest

Scott Russell Sanders:

I wear no watch. I do not hurry.

Freeman Dyson:

At Trinity College, Cambridge, they planted an avenue of trees in the early 18th century, leading up from the river to the college. This avenue of trees grew very big and majestic in the course of 200 years. When I was a student there 50 years ago, the trees were growing a little dilapidated, though still very beautiful. The college decided that for the sake of the future, they would chop them down and plant new ones. Now, 50 years later, the new trees are half grown and already looking almost as beautiful as the old ones. That's the kind of thinking that comes naturally in such a place, where 100 years is nothing.

Arab Proverb:

It is good to know the truth, but it is better to speak of palm trees.

Decius:

There are certain basic pleasures of the ancient world that one has to work very hard to come by today. We've cut ourselves off from things that even our grandfathers took for granted.

Richard Preston:

From the moment he entered redwood space, Steve Sillett began to see things that no one had imagined. He discovered a lost world above Northern California.

Michiru Hoshino:

Oh! I feel it. I feel the cosmos!
