"No artifact is a work of art if it does not help to humanize us. Without art...our world would have remained a jungle."

Previous Quote

A tree is an aerial garden, a botanical migration from the sea, from those earliest plants, the seaweeds; it is a purchase on crumbled rock, on ground. The human, standing, is only a different upsweep and articulation of cells. How treelike we are, how human the tree.
