I have a bit of a rebellious nature.
John Cusack
It's incredible how nature sets females up to take care of people, and yet it is tricky for them to take care of themselves.
Bjork
Nothing is more memorable than a smell. One scent can be unexpected, momentary and fleeting, yet conjure up a childhood summer beside a lake in the mountains; another, a moonlit beach; a third, a family dinner of pot roast and sweet potatoes during a myrtle-mad August in a Midwestern town. Smells detonate softly in our memory like poignant land mines hidden under the weedy mass of years. Hit a tripwire of smell and memories explode all at once. A complex vision leaps out of the undergrowth.
Diane Ackerman, A Natural Histor
A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.
Walt Whitman
This is the foundation of all. We are not to imagine or suppose, but to discover, what nature does or may be made to do.
Francis Bacon
We cannot remember too often that when we observe nature, and especially the ordering of nature, it is always ourselves alone we are observing.
G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb
Nature is not served by rigid laws, but by rhythmical, reciprocal processes. Nature uses none of the preconditions of the chemist or the physicist for the purposes of evolution. Nature excludes all fire, on principle, for purposes of growth; therefore all contemporary machines are unnatural and constructed according to false premises. Nature avails herself of the biodynamic form of motion through which the biological prerequisite for the emergence of life is provided. Its purpose is to ur-procreate 'higher' conditions of matter out of the originally inferior raw materials, which afford the evolutionally older, or the numerically greater rising generation, the possibility of a constant capacity to evolve, for without any growing and increasing reserves of energy there would be no evolution or development. This results first and foremost in the collapse of the so-called Law of the Conservation of Energy, and in further consequence the Law of Gravity, and all other dogmatic lose any rational or practical basis.
Viktor Schauberger
In the beginning you must subject yourself to the influence of nature. You must be able to walk firmly on the ground before you start walking of a tightrope.
Henri Matisse
I look upon all creatures equally; none are less dear to me and none more dear. But those who worship me with love live in me, and I come to life in them.
Bhagavad Gita
Nature uses as little as possible of anything.
Johannes Kepler
The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.
Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.
Voltaire
The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
Alexander Pope
What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.
C. S. Lewis
Take a course in good water and air and in the eternal youth of Nature you may renew your own. Go quietly, alone no harm will befall you.
John Muir
A vacuum is a hell of a lot better than some of the stuff that nature replaces it with.
Tennessee Williams
What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly - that is the first law of nature.
I am two with nature.
Woody Allen
Our nature consists in motion complete rest is death.
Blaise Pascal
Nature knows no pause in progress and development, and attaches her curse on all inaction.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
