Nature is reckless of the individual. When she has points to carry,
she carries them.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Men argue, nature acts.
-- Voltaire
The known universe beyond Earth is not hostile, nor is it friendly.
It simply has no feelings, no struggling selections of life, no joys.
-- L.S. Heatherly
Nature, with equal mind,
Sees all hers sons at play,
Sees man control the wind,
The wind sweep man away.
-- Matthew Arnold
Talk of mysteries! Think of our life in Nature-- daily to be shown
matter, to come in contact with it-- rocks, trees, wind on our
cheeks! The solid earth! The actual world! Common Sense!
Contact! Contact! Who are we? Where are we?
-- Henry David Thoreau
Deep in their roots,
All flowers keep the light.
-- Theodore Roethke
Give me a spark o' nature's fire,
That's a' the learning I desire
-- Robert Burns
Man [has become] a complex being: he makes deserts bloom
plastics, steel, artificial intelligence, many anti-Earth-lifes. He
makes lakes, streams and children die.
Mankind can never hope to see
A living thing more lovely and still free
Than the infant child upon our knee.
Conscious life: the only nature breathing, caring, loving.
