Read through the most famous quotes by topic #nature




What we must think about is an agriculture with a human face. We must give standing to the new pioneers, the homecomers bent on the most important work for the next century - a massive salvage operation to save the vulnerable but necessary pieces of nature and culture and to keep the good and artful examples before us. It is time for a new breed of artists to enter front and center, for the point of art, after all, is to connect. This is the homecomer I have in mind: the scientist, the accountant who converses with nature, a true artist devoted to the building of agriculture and culture to match the scenery presented to those first European eyes.


Wes Jackson

Three days a week she helped at the Manor Nursing Home, where people proved their keenness by reciting received analyses of current events. All the Manor residents watched television day and night, informed to the eyeballs like everyone else and rushed for time, toward what end no one asked. Their cupidity and self-love were no worse than anyone else's, but their many experiences' having taught them so little irked Lou. One hated tourists, another southerners; another despised immigrants. Even dying, they still held themselves in highest regard. Lou would have to watch herself. For this way of thinking began to look like human nature--as if each person of two or three billion would spend his last vital drop to sustain his self-importance.


Annie Dillard

É ela [a natureza], igualmente, que leva o homem a matar seu semelhante, a devorá-lo, a sequestrá-lo, a torturá-lo; pois, tão logo saímos da ordem das necessidades e das precisões, para entrar na do luxo e dos prazeres, vemos que a natureza não pode aconselhar senão o crime. (...) É a filosofia (refiro-me à boa), é a religião que manda que alimentemos parentes pobres e enfermos. (...) O mal faz-se sem esforço, naturalmente, e por fatalidade; o bem é sempre o produto de uma arte.


Charles Baudelaire

Those intellectuals are our natural enemies; the only kind who are worth anything are the musicians and the dancers: they don’t insult anybody with their performances, and they neither sing nor dance politics. So I like them; but don’t let me hear a word about the rest


Alfred de Vigny

Many times, you are the single most significant and glorious thing that has ever happened in the lives of some people; they sit around and talk about you over and over again throughout the years while you are out there living your life, every step that you take and every kiss that you make having absolutely nothing to do with them, at all!


C. JoyBell C.

The best remedy for those who are frightened, lovely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere they can be alone, alone with the sky, nature and God. For then and only then can you feel that everything is as it should be and that God wants people to be happy amid nature's beauty and simplicity.


Anne Frank

No synonym for God is so perfect as Beauty. Whether as seen carving the lines of the mountains with glaciers, or gathering matter into stars, or planning the movements of water, or gardening - still all is Beauty!


John Muir

Why children?' he asked. 'Why always children? For love to end where it begins is far more beautiful, and Nature knows it.


E.M. Forster
