For me, one of the major reasons to move beyond just the planting of trees was that I have tendency to look at the causes of a problem.

The one thing about program television that's absolutely incompatible with any concept of art is that all decisions have to be made by program directors, whereas art is autonomous. It may be dependent, but it knows no superiors. ↗

Men think highly of those who rise rapidly in the world; whereas nothing rises quicker than dust, straw, and feathers. ↗
