I prefer cynical people. Nice guys grow on trees.

If we surrendered to earth’s intelligence we could rise up rooted, like trees.

Behind the man is the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is behind the woman; the serpent is twining round it.

Give me a land of boughs in leaf A land of trees that stand; Where trees are fallen there is grief; I love no leafless land.

I was quite keen on silviculture, the growing of trees, and that was something I gave a lot of thought to. Maybe I could’ve gone in that direction. But it just so happened that while I was trying to make up my mind, I enrolled in art school, and there I began to develop my interest in music, parallel with my interest in the visual arts.

Trees can’t tell jokes. But we can certainly tell stories. And if all you hear is the whisper of leaves, don’t worry. Most trees are introverts at heart.

The sky is my prayer, the birds are my prayer, the wind in the trees is my prayer, for God is all in all.

I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it.

The best day to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best day is today.

Trees are worth more alive than dead.
