By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit (from which none of us is free) of chiefly regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property, the landscape is deformed. Husbandry is degraded with us and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but (only) as a robber. - Henry David Thoreau
