"Nature is not a mother" _ by Paulo Mendes da Rocha
"As in Tom Jobim’s song, 'From the window you can see the Corcovado, the Redeemer, how beautiful!', you already pre-suppose an apartment in Copacabana, for example. What window is he talking about? Landscape is only beautiful because behind us there’s a breeze, voices and pans cooking beans, a water tank and washing on the line. This is the place that shelters the abyss from the window through which one can see a landscape and consider it beautiful. Because for someone lost on the beach like a castaway, no bay is beautiful. Or maybe it could be beautiful through the hope that some ship would come and save us from this magnificent landscape that has forsaken and could kill us. […] Therefore, nature is not a mother, but a set of phenomena that must be faced by the human race."
