Mary Oliver Quotes
The Woods That I Loved As A Child Are Entirely Gone. The Woods That I Loved As A Young Adult Are Gone. The Woods That Most Recently I Walked In Are Not Gone, But They're Full Of Bicycle Trails. And This Is Happening To The World, And I Think It Is Very Very Dangerous For Our Future Generations, Those Of Us Who Believe That The World Is Not Only Necessary To Us In Its Pristine State, But It Is In Itself An Act Of Some Kind Of Spiritual Thing. I Said Once, And I Think This Is True, The World Did Not Have To Be Beautiful To Work. But It Is. What Does That Mean?
