If the earth is man's extended body, to be loved and respected as one's
own body, those who do no greening of themselves will hardly bring
about the greening of America. The idea of 'greening' involves color,
flowering, freshness of spring, and, above all, respect for what is
organic and vegetative as distinct from the mechanical and metallic.
- Alan Watts, Cloud-Hidden, Whereabouts Unknown, 1968
