They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot,
With a pink hotel,

And we've got to get ourselves

We are stardust,

And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden. — Joni Mitchell · 1969Life1 quote

It is a breath of a buffalo in winter time. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset. — Crowfoot · 1890Loss of Eden1 quote
