"Cats
are intended to teach us that not everything in nature has a purpose.”
Garrison Keillor
You
will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will
teach you that which you can never learn from masters.
Saint Bernard
Nature
is a revelation of God; Art a revelation of man.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
As
if our birth had at first sundered things, and we had been thrust up through
into nature like a wedge, and not until the wound heals and the scar disappears,
do we begin to discover where we are, and that nature is one and continuous
everywhere.
Henry David Thoreau
A
man who lives with nature is used to violence and is companionable with
death. There is more violence in an English hedgerow than in the meanest
streets of a great city.
P.D. James
"If
trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We
might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."
Jack Handey
"In
every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks."
Anonymous
"There
is pleasure in the pathless woods, / there is rapture in the lonely shore,
/ there is society where none intrudes, / by the deep sea, and music in
its roar; / I love not man the less, but nature more."
Lord Byron
