« Trees are aware of our presence. The chemistry of their roots and the fragrances that their leaves give off changes as we approach... When you feel good after a walk in the forest, it may be that some species try to hit on us, or bribe us. So many miracle cures come from trees, and we have barely scratched the surface of what they have to offer. Trees have been trying to get in touch with us for a long time. But they speak at frequencies too low for humans to hear. »

« Ownership, mastery: nothing else matters. The Earth will be monetized until all the trees grow in straight lines, three people have the seven continents, and all the great living organisms are raised to be felled. »
