Quote by Gabriel Hemery

“A verse from a short poem - 'Philosophy is Forestry's Child' - in my Foreword: Ask not which came first, the acorn or the oak. We came as children of the forest; First our wooden cradle, then our kindling for industry. Instead think forward –– trees will shelter us from ourselves.”

“Watching Carrie Fisher on what seems to be her last work, the British sitcom " Catastrophe" playing a crazy old mom makes me wonder how many talents are taken for granted just because they have aged. Just to quote her again, as if "they are disobedient kids" treated with so little respect and honor. In a culture that venerates the youth and degenerates everything that is somewhat "out of date" we can only wonder how the future will be. If the same ones that diminishes the old will themselves be older too. If they are lucky enough to reach a certain age and age well.”

“Someone asked me today, what happened. It made me reflect but in reflecting, I also realized that the world is still the same. Still the stigmas associated with certain things our society does not know or care to listen, read or research. They are comfortable with not taking the time to listen, nor give you time to answer before chiming in.”
