“Trees and flowers were often more meaningful to me than people. They always helped me, consoled me, giving the soul a chance to believe once more than the world was beautiful and sensible, that the mad absurdities and cruelties of men were against the laws of Nature and the Universal Mind; that sooner or later violence would suffer utter defeat on this Earth. No words collected in books were more effectively convincing to me than foliage, clouds, rippling waters, rain.” PeopleMenWorldGivingMindBelieveBookSoulEarthBeautifulLawSufferingWaterNatureChanceViolenceTreeFlowerRainUniversalMadDefeatCloudsMeaningfulCrueltySensibleSooner Or LaterAbsurdityConvincingLaws Of NatureFoliage Author:Svetlana Alliluyeva

Conservation: it's not just a good idea, it's the law.” WorldIdeasLawNatureCommunitySunTreeFallenCosmicGood IdeasConservationRefrainDiscardedNothing NewTenaciousRedwoodsNothing New Under The Sun Book:The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science Source: The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science
