hears the hatchet and the axe cutting the most beautiful trees. The destruction of these primitive forests, of which there are only fragments in all of China, progresses with unfortunate speed. They will NEVER be replaced. With the great trees will disappear a multitude of shrubs; also all the animals, small and large, which need the forest in order to live and perpetuate their species....."
"This cosmos, so marvelous to those with eyes to see, is
reduced to dullness by a blind and egotistical preoccupation with
material things. Soon the horse and pig on the one hand, and the
wheat and potatoes on the other, will replace all these hundreds,
these thousands of creatures - animal and vegetable - that God has
created to live among us. They have the right to life and we
annihilate them and brutally make existence impossible for them... It
is unbelievable that the Creator could have placed so many diverse
organisms on the earth, each one so admirable in its sphere, so
perfect in its role, only to permit man, his masterpiece, to destroy
them forever."
