„Power is in nature the essential measure of right. Nature suffers nothing to remain in her kingdoms which cannot help itself.

— Ralph Waldo Emerson
„I stood willingly and gladly in the characters of everything — other people, trees, clouds.“
— Mary Oliver
„The fault of many of our artists and intellectuals lies in their original sin: they are not true revolutionaries. We can try to graft the elm tree so that it will bear pears, but at the same time we must plant pear trees. New generations will come that will be free of original sin.“
— Ernesto Che Guevara
