7 Quotes The Lorax by Dr. Seuss
“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It’s not. “I am the Lorax. I speak for the trees. I speak for the trees for the trees have no tongue.” “It’s not about what it is, it’s about what it becomes.” “It’s the last one of all! You’re in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds. And Truffula Trees are what everyone needs. Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care. Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air. Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack. Then the Lorax and all of his friends may come back.” The Lorax: “Which was does a tree fall?” The Once-ler: “Uh-down?” The Lorax: “A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean.”
