“in the great timescale and reality of the natural world, a fence is an entirely artificial and temporary boundary, like a line drawn in the wet sand at the verge of the ocean, telling the waves they can come no farther. The waves don’t care—nature does not acknowledge human lines or meanings. The waves will sweep over that line and dissolve it, given a short amount of time. The forest will sweep over this fence and dissolve it, given sufficient time.”
― Ned Hayes, The Eagle Tree

“It’s my belief that our lives are stolen from us. Ornamented with pinnate leaves and colored frills, we exist only as a consolation for others. I don’t feel fulfilled. Indeed, some days I scarcely feel at all.”
― Gregory Maguire, After Alice
