Chief Seattle

"The President in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land.
But how can you buy or sell the sky ? The land ?
The idea is strange to us.
If we do not own the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them ?
"

Chief Seattle, extrait de la lettre adressée en 1852 au Président des Etats-Unis , citée par Joseph Campbell dans "The Power of Myth"
