Dr. Seuss: 25 quotes on his birthday

Here are 25 quotes from everyone's favorite subversive rhyming children's author.

9. Speaking for the trees

Mister!", he said with a sawdusty sneeze,
"I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees.
I speak for the trees, for the trees have no tongues,
And I'm asking you, sir, at the top of my lungs" –
He was very upset as he shouted and puffed –
"What's that THING you've made out of my Truffula tuft?"

– From "The Lorax"
