Whoever wants me to talk, I'll come over and tell them about the necessity of preserving the Everglades.

You have to stand up for some things in this world.

All we need, really, is a change from a near frigid to a tropical attitude of mind.

No matter how poor my eyes are I can still talk.

The miracle of light pours over the green and brown expanse of saw grass and of water, shining and slowly moving, the grass and water that is the meaning and the central fact of the Everglades. It is a river of grass.
