“Pretese delle parole; pretendono di regolare i conti con quello che succede là fuori, di descriverlo e definirlo.

“Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life”.
