03c. 1917 ADThe three species of pine native to Wisconsin (white, red and jack) differ radically in their opinions about marriageable age. The precocious jackpine sometimes bloom and bears cones a year or two after leaving the nursery, and a few of my 13-year-old jacks already boast of grandchildren. My 13-year-old reds first bloomed this year, but my whites have not yet bloomed; they adhere closely to the Anglo-Saxon doctrine of free, white, and twenty-one.Aldo Leopold / quote ↗
04c. 1917 ADOne of the anomalies of modern ecology is the creation of two groups, each of which seems barely aware of the existence of the other. The one studies the human community, almost as if it were a separate entity, and calls its findings sociology, economics and history. The other studies the plant and animal community and comfortably relegates the hodge-podge of politics to the liberal arts. The inevitable fusion of these two lines of thought will, perhaps, constitute the outstanding advance of this century.Aldo Leopold / quote ↗
05c. 1917 ADIn June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. No man can heed all of these anniversaries no man can ignore all of them.Aldo Leopold / quote ↗
06c. 1917 ADIs education possibly a process of trading awareness for things of lesser worth? The goose who trades his is soon a pile of feathers.Aldo Leopold / quote ↗
08c. 1917 ADHarmony with land is like harmony with a friend you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.Aldo Leopold / quote ↗
