I plead for conservation of human culture, which is much more fragile than nature herself. We needn't destroy other cultures with the force of our own.

It is the mystery of the creative act that something other than our conscious self takes over.

Tahiti has been spoiled for many years, but Bali is one of the few cultures with origins in one of the great ancient cultures which is still alive.
