Quotes
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness - John Muir
The forest is not merely an expression or representation of sacredness, nor a place to invoke the sacred; the forest is sacredness itself. Nature is not merely created by God; nature is God. - Gary Snyder
The forest is a peculiar organism of unlimited kindness and benevolence that makes no demands for its sustenance and extends generously the products of its life and activity; it affords protection to all beings - human, animal, and plant. - Gautama Buddha
