'I would like to do a tree census--find out how many trees I own, how many branches, how many twigs and leaves. And bugs. A quarter of a million leaves. A million leaves . . . I am a millionaire of rustling leaves . . . of grass blades. Of molecules of air . . . I own the air I breathe at this minute. Cubic yards of air, invisible stones of a luminous temple.'--from 'What I Do for Money.'
