Quotes
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself. - William Blake
In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks. - John Muir
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. - Rabindranath Tagore
