About This Quote
The quote, “Plants are more courageous than almost all human beings,” is an interesting one. Not only does the author of this quote think that plants are more courageous than most people, he also thinks that they should be valued more highly than humans. Therefore, humans should not be valued as much as they are. They are valuable for their usefulness, but not for their beauty or humanity.
The author of this quote also demonstrates his true beliefs by sticking his tongue out at the end of the sentence. This is because he finds the idea of lemons to be absurd and that it is ridiculous that a lemon tree would rather die than produce lemons. To the author of this quote, if a lemon tree could produce lemons it would be foolish not to do so.
