Nature knows no indecencies; man invents them.

Summary

This quote suggests that in the natural world, there are no inherently immoral or shameful acts, as nature functions according to its own laws. Indecency or immorality are human concepts created to define and judge certain behaviors. It implies that human beings impose their own personal and cultural beliefs, biases, and moral standards onto natural phenomena and actions. The quote highlights the idea that nature can be seen as morally neutral, and any perceived indecency or immorality exists only within the social constructs humans have devised.
