• The end result of the adoption of permaculture strategies in any country or region will be to dramatically reduce the area of the agricultural environment needed by the households and the settlements of people, and to release much of the landscape for the sole use of wildlife and for re-occupation by endemic flora.

• I suppose an entire cabinet of shells would be an expression of the whole human mind; a Flora of the whole globe would be so likewise, or a history of beasts; or a painting of all the aspects of the clouds. Everything is significant.

• One bit of advice someone gave me - which I haven't yet tried - is that if you go to an area where you might pick up a tummy bug, you should seek out the local probiotic yogurt. Eating it will introduce you to the local gut flora, apparently.

• Whether that expansion is towards the beings around you or flora, fauna, and creatures. Love has so many unique yet consistent forms. People like Branson - he's an idea guru. Guys like Allan Savory - he's like Father Earth. Allan has literally discovered how to stop desertification and make Africa come alive with plant life. In each of its forms, love has an infinite scope of potential expansion, all of which I see leading to growth.

• Many Americans think of the rest of the world as a kind of Disneyland, a showplace for quaint fauna, flora and artifacts. They dress for travel in cheap, comfortable, childish clothes, as if they were going to the zoo and would not be seen by anyone except the animals.

• Mice and any rodentia. Guinea pigs. Even rabbits, I can't stand. Rabbits are cousins to rats. It's a class thing. If you had to grow up with rats scampering in your backyard, because the city services were cut in half and the population in your neighborhood doubled, then that also is going to mean that the flora and fauna are going to grow as well. So that's a part of it. That's why I can't go to Hindu countries where they respect rats and mice, and I can't go camping.

• Like environmentalists, politicians generally privilege flora and fauna over folks. (NIMBYs excepted. Senator Edward Kennedy is a not-in-my-backyard environmentalist: he opposes wind farms in Nantucket Sound, offshore from his Hyannis Port compound.)

• The virtuous to those mansions go
  Where pleasures unembitter'd flow,
  Where, leading up a jocund band,
  Vigor and Youth dance hand in hand,
  Whilst Zephyr, with harmonious gales,
  Pipes softest music through the vales,
  And Spring and Flora, gaily crown'd,
  With velvet carpet spread the ground;
  With livelier blush where roses bloom,
  And every shrub expires perfume.

• The education bestowed on Flora Poste by her parents had been expensive, athletic and prolonged; and when they died within a few weeks of one another during the annual epidemic of the influenza or Spanish Plague which occurred in her twentieth year, she was discovered to possess every art and grace save that of earning her own living.

• La práctica de la conservación debe surgir de la convicción de lo que es ética y estéticamente correcto, así como de lo que es económicamente conveniente. Una cosa es correcta sólo cuando tiende a preservar la integridad, estabilidad y belleza de la comunidad, y la comunidad incluye el suelo, las aguas, la fauna y la flora, además de las personas.

  Aldo Leopold

• Human beings make a strange fauna and flora. From a distance they appear negligible; close up they are apt to appear ugly and malicious. More than anything they need to be surrounded with sufficient space―space even more than time.

• The territorial body has been polluted by roads, elevators, etc. Similarly, our animal body starts being polluted. Ecology no longer deals with water, flora, wildlife and air only. It deals with the body itself as well. It is comparable with an invasion: technology is invading our body because of miniaturisation.

• I would request that my body in death be buried not cremated, so that the energy content contained within it gets returned to the earth, so that flora and fauna can dine upon it, just as I have dined upon flora and fauna during my lifetime

• En el fondo de la mente de todo artista hay algo así como un patrón y un tipo de arquitectura. La cualidad original de cualquier hombre de imaginación es la imaginería. Es algo así como el paisaje de sus sueños; el tipo de mundo que le gustaría crear o por el que le gustaría vagar, la extraña flora y fauna, su propio planeta secreto, el tipo de cosas en las que le gusta pensar. Esta atmósfera general, y un patrón o una estructura de crecimiento, rigen todas sus creaciones, por variadas que sean.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

• The design of the gum is expressed in the flow of it trunk and limbs, and the design of the European tree mainly in its foliage. In Europe great masses of foliage first attract the eye, here the limbs and trunk, which, on account of their proportion and colour, make themselves felt first, and one thinks of the foliage as a secondary matter.

• Los sueños eran lo peor. Claro que soñaba con comida y amor, pero eran más agradables que otra cosa. Pero luego soñaba cosas como degollar a un bebé, confundiéndolo con una cabrita. Tenía pesadillas con otras islas que se extendían lejos de la mía, infinitas islas, islas que engendraban islas, como huevos de rana que se convertían en polliwogs de islas, sabiendo que tenía que vivir en todas y cada una de ellas, con el tiempo, durante siglos, registrando su flora, su fauna, su geografía.

• Paseando, me parece que la extrañeza y la maravilla de la existencia se acentúan aquí, en el desierto, por la escasez comparativa de la flora y la fauna: la vida no se amontona sobre la vida como en otros lugares, sino que se dispersa en la escasez y la simplicidad, con un generoso regalo de espacio para cada hierba y arbusto y árbol, cada tallo de hierba, de modo que el organismo vivo se destaca audaz y valiente y vívido contra la arena sin vida y la roca estéril. La extrema claridad de la luz del desierto es igualada por la extrema individuación de las formas de vida del desierto. El amor florece mejor en la apertura y la libertad.

• Garden writing is often very tame, a real waste when you think how opinionated, inquisitive, irreverent and lascivious gardeners themselves tend to be. Nobody talks much about the muscular limbs, dark,swollen buds, strip-tease trees and unholy beauty that have made us all slaves of the Goddess Flora.

• There is an infinity of landscape here, caused by the purity of the atmosphere. It has been said that there is a lack of colour. It is not so obvious as the greenness of England, but it is infinitely more varied and more delicate in tone. The landscape is a pinky mauve, a lilac, and the reflection of the sun of the particles of the atmosphere is a warm amber. So I should say our colour scheme is amber and lilac.

• Meditation is another dimension of natural beauty. People talk about appreciating natural beauty-climbing mountains, seeing giraffes and tigers in Africa, and all sorts of things. But nobody seems to appreciate this kind of natural beauty of ourselves. This is actually far more beautiful than flora and fauna, far more fantastic, far more painful and colorful and delightful.
