A Quote from Teddy Roosevelt
I was looking through Barbara Bosworth’s stunning book of photos, Trees, when I came upon this quote in the accompanying essay by Douglas R. Nickel.
There is nothing more practical in the end than the preservation of beauty, than the preservation of anything that appeals to the higher emotions in mankind.
Well said, Teddy.
You’ve got to read “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt.” He wrote a journal since he was in his teens, so his life is full of quotes like these. He really is the only person I can think of that has a life which reads greater than fiction.
Hey Stranger!
Yeah, I remember we emailed about this a while ago and I still haven’t gotten to it. It is on my “For Later” shelf at the NY Public Library,though. One of these days, I’ll get to it.
Always good seeing you around here again. Hoping all is well with you.
