Jungle Quotes
-
Landscapes of great wonder and beauty lie under our feet and all around us.

How could this earth of ours, which is only a speck in the heavens, have so much variety of life, so many curious and exciting creatures?

Even in a jungle, lovely flowers will spring up here and there, such being the fecundity of nature, and however badly our pastors and masters run our society, however much they pull to pieces that which they claim to be keeping intact, nature remains fecund, human beings are born with human traits, sometimes human strength outweighs human weakness, and human grace shows itself amid human ugliness. ‘In the bloodiest times,’ as our play has it, ‘there are kind people.’
