“Trees fall with spectacular crashes. But planting is silent and growth is invisible.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

“He stands lost in the universe's weeds, hunched a little from the stronger gravity of the world he visits.”
― Richard Powers

“No one sees trees. We see fruit, we see nuts, we see wood, we see shade. We see ornaments or pretty fall foliage. Obstacles blocking the road or wrecking the ski slope. Dark, threatening places that must be cleared. We see branches about to crush our roof. We see a cash crop. But trees - trees are invisible.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

“Once you’ve bought a novel in your pajamas, there’s no turning back.”
