The cicatrices of trees grow in thickness more than the sap that flows through them and nourishes them requires.

The beginning of the branch will always have the central line of its thickness taking its direction by the central line of the plant.

The thickness of a branch is never diminished in the space there is between one leaf and another except by as much as the thickness of the eye that is above the leaf, and this thickness is lacking in the branch up to the next leaf.

Opposite the castle of Bellagio is an insignificant stream which falls from a height of more than a hundred braccia from the spring where it rises sheer into the lake with inconceivable din and uproar. This spring flows only in August and September.

Fancy cutting down all those beautiful trees...to make pulp for those bloody newspapers, and calling it civilisation.

This old world keeps spinnin' round; It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down.
