Quote by G. C. (Georg Christoph) Lichtenb
We cannot remember too often that when we observe nature, and especially the ordering of nature, it is always ourselves alone we are observing.
Summary
This quote emphasizes that when we observe nature, we are ultimately examining our own place within it. By recognizing the patterns and order in nature, we gain a deeper understanding of our own existence and interconnectedness with the natural world. It suggests that nature serves as a mirror, reflecting back our own presence and significance within the larger scheme of things. This reminder encourages us to appreciate, respect, and protect nature as it directly influences and reflects our own being.
