" Civilization shouts,gives orders, writes rules, puts man in institutions, and intimidates him with a thousand irritating directives. In turn it offers him protection, soul salvation, and a living if he can find it. Nature looks down on him and broods in silence. It's noises of running streams and wind in the trees are it's own, not directed at but soothing to him because he heard them long before he heard the noises of civilization."
