"I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty. In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature."

i am actually reading it as i post this comment, tis the reason i decided to make the contest 8-)
although i'm kinda bored with it right now and have to finish it by tuesday so i'm rushing -

trees are great,
but they don't say more about the world than people do.

whatev. -

it's kind of interesting, but a lot of it is more detail than necessary. the first 5-10 pages really tell you the main points... if you're ever at a bookstore just read those
as for trees/humanity... it's more like, he hates how humans work themselves to death and wanted to see if it was possible to live on virtually nothing with no societal strings attached
