“Има људи, који су у свом животу видели свега неколико залазака сунца, а још мање има људи који су видели свитање и оргије сунчевог изласка. Обожавају природу само деца и лудаци; само они говоре с биљкама по путу и с камењем у пољу. На од њих стоје још филозофи и песници, који се детињски уски супротној тачци поменутог пријатеља за такав свет била је крволочна онолико колико је његова љубав за природу била дивљачка.”
