"When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe." ― John Muir Topic(s): Environmental More From John Muir "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." "I never saw a discontented tree. They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do." "The gross heathenism of civilization has generally destroyed nature, and poetry, and all that is spiritual."
