Forest Quotes

What a thing it is to sit absolutely alone, in the forest, at night, cherished by this wonderful, unintelligible, perfectly innocent speech, the most comforting speech in the world, the talk that rain makes by itself all over the ridges, and the talk of the watercourses everywhere in the hollows! Nobody started it, nobody is going to stop it. It will talk as long as it wants this rain. As long as it talks I am going to listen Picture Quote #1

Every day we make our way through a moral forest, along pathways ever branching. Often we get lost. When the array of paths before us is so perplexing that we can’t make a choice, or won’t, we can hope that we will be given a sign to guide us. A reliance on signs, however, can lead to the evasion of all moral obligations, and thus earn a terrible judgment Picture Quote #1

I foresee the time when industry shall no longer denude the forests which require generations to mature, nor use up the mines which were ages in making, but shall draw its raw material largely from the annual produce of the fields. I am convinced that we shall be able to get out of yearly crops most of the basic materials which we now get from forest and mine Picture Quote #1

The country where he lives is haunted by the ghost of an old forest. In the cleared fields where he gardens and pastures his horses it stood once, and will return. There will be a resurrection of the wild. Already it stands in wait at the pasture fences Picture Quote #1

Imagine a dense forest full of tigers and you in a strong steel cage. Knowing that you are well protected by the cage, you watch the tigers fearlessly. Next, you find the tigers in the cage and yourself roaming about in the jungle. Last, the cage disappears and you ride the tigers! Picture Quote #1

Our lives are like islands in the sea, or like trees in the forest. The maple and the pine may whisper to each other with their leaves... But the trees also commingle their roots in the darkness underground, and the islands also hang together through the ocean’s bottom Picture Quote #1

The silence of the forest is my bride and the sweet dark warmth of the whole world is my love, and out of the heart of that dark warmth comes the secret that is heard only in silence, but it is the root of all the secrets that are whispered by all the lovers in their beds all over the world Picture Quote #1

It’s more eerie to be alone in a city that’s lit up and functioning than one that’s a tomb. If everything were silent, one could almost pretend to be in nature. A forest. A meadow. Crickets and birdsong. But the corpse of civilization is as restless as the creatures that now roam the graveyards Picture Quote #1

Left to herself, nature is always more or less civilized, and delights in a certain refinement; but where the axe has encroached upon the edge of the forest, the dead and unsightly limbs of the pine, which she had concealed with green banks of verdure, are exposed to sight Picture Quote #1

There’s a basic kind of tension here. It’s between those who say, I’d like to clear cut this forest and reduce it to saw timber because that’s an economically productive thing for me to do Picture Quote #1

Their elegant shape, showy colours, and slow, sailing mode of flight, make them very attractive objects, and their numbers are so great that they form quite a feature in the physiognomy of the forest, compensating for the scarcity of flowers Picture Quote #1

And the camera position, the organization, looking for repeating forms, shapes, trying to set up a visual rhythm seemed to come very natural. All of a sudden I was in a forest of aluminum and steel rather than a forest that we might think of in a traditional sense Picture Quote #1

Having photographed the landscape for a number of years and specifically working with trees and in the forest I found, without consciously thinking about it, that it was a great learning experience for me in terms of organizing elements Picture Quote #1

If you cut down a forest, it doesn’t matter how many sawmills you have if there are no more trees Picture Quote #1

I’m always astonished by a forest. It makes me realise that the fantasy of nature is much larger than my own fantasy. I still have things to learn Picture Quote #1

You cannot, for instance, sustainably protect the environment if the majority of the people are still in primitive agriculture leading to the encroachment of forest reserves Picture Quote #1

If a man is talking in the forest, and there is no woman there to hear him, is he still wrong? Picture Quote #1

I was once walking through the forest alone. A tree fell right in front of me, and I didn’t hear a thing Picture Quote #1

No child but must remember laying his head in the grass, staring into the infinitesimal forest and seeing it grow populous with fairy armies Picture Quote #1

We all have a tendency to obscure the forest of simple joys with the trees of problems Picture Quote #1

And not a breath crept through the rosy air, and yet the forest leaves seemed stirred with prayer Picture Quote #1

An age builds up cities: an hour destroys them. In a moment the ashes are made, but a forest is a long time growing Picture Quote #1

At about eight o’clock one evening of the early summer a group of men were seated on a grass plot overlooking a broad river. The sun was just setting through the forest fringe directly behind them Picture Quote #1

A forest of all manner of trees is poor, if not disagreeable, in effect; a mass of one species of tree is sublime Picture Quote #1

Close by a rock, or less enormous height, breaks the wild waves, and forms a dangerous strait; full on its crown, a fig’s green branches rise, and shoot a leafy forest to the skies Picture Quote #1

A relationship is like being in a forest, where snakes lurk awaiting the chance to entice Picture Quote #1

Government protection should be thrown around every wild grove and forest on the mountains, as it is around every private orchard, and the trees in public parks. To say nothing of their value as fountains of timber, they are worth infinitely more than all the gardens and parks of towns Picture Quote #1

To set a forest on fire, you light a match. To set a character on fire, you put him in conflict Picture Quote #1

Anyone who doesn’t believe that the forest is a deadly place has never been lost in one Picture Quote #1

From beasts we scorn as soulless, in forest, field and den, the cry goes up to witness the soullessness of men Picture Quote #1
