Reetta’s Quotes

“What?” he asks the tree. “What? ” The tree feels no need to reply.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

“The tree will outlive, by a hundred years and more, the man who has never heard of it.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

“Can you feel it lift and disappear? That standing wave of constant static. The distraction so ubiquitous you never even knew you were wrapped in it. Human certainty.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

“The tree is saying things, in words before words. It says: Sun and water are questions endlessly worth answering. It says: A good answer must be reinvented many times, from scratch.”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory

1 likes

“But hope and truth do nothing for humans without use. In the clumpy, clumsy fingerpaint of words, she searches for the use of Old Tjikko, up on that barren crest, endlessly dying and resurrecting in every change of climate. His use is to show that the world is not made for our utility. What use are we to trees?”
― Richard Powers, The Overstory
