" Dad was not a religious man, and he once said to me that he didn’t think he would believe in God at all were it not for the existence of two things: trees — and man’s conscience. He said that without trees, we would not survive on this planet, for they feed us, clothe us, shelter us, make oxygen. Without a conscience, man would probably never have developed beyond a primitive state. "
