« The gardener working under my window is an admirer of the world. He doesn’t think in terms of ‘producing’ plants. He cultivates. He helps grow that which exists without him. He doesn’t create, doesn’t build; he takes care of. Hence his humbleness. […] Plants often outdo him; he doesn’t feel shame or bitterness, but rather the dignity of belonging. »
