It is from the great literary work "The Lorax" by the esteemed Dr. Theodore Seuss Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) To give you a bit of backgroud, the Lorax is the protector of rare trees (Truffula trees), and wages a fight of reason against the Onceler, who wants to cut them all down. The term "Lorax" is now commonly applied to forest conservationists, of whom I am one. I currently speak for Mahogany and Tropical Cedar; in the South I spoke for Podocarps of the sections Capitulatis and Nemorales, and in the North for Mangroves.

The full quote is "I am the Lorax, I speak for the Trees. They have no voice of their own, you see."
