Nature is impersonal, awe-inspiring, elegant, eternal. It's geometrically perfect. It's tiny and gigantic. You can travel far to be in a beautiful natural setting, or you can observe it in your backyard - or, in my case, in the trees lining New York City sidewalks, or in the clouds above skyscrapers.
‐‐ Gretchen Rubin
Nature is in austere mood, even terrifying, withal majestically beautiful.
‐‐ Frederick Soddy
Nature is indifferent to the survival of the human species, including Americans.

Nature is just enough; but men and women must comprehend and accept her suggestions.
‐‐ Antoinette Brown Blackwell
Nature is more like a seesaw than a crystal, a never-ending conga line of bold moves and corrections.
‐‐ Diane Ackerman
Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
‐‐ Frank Lloyd Wright
Nature is my springboard. From her I get my initial impetus. I have tried to relate the visible drama of mountains, trees, and bleached fields with the fantasy of wind blowing and changing colors and forms.
‐‐ Milton Avery
Nature is neutral.
‐‐ Adlai E. Stevenson
Nature is never finished.
‐‐ Robert Smithson
Nature is not evil. The world occasionally shrugs its shoulders, and people get knocked off. The earth, for geological reasons that are well known, is a fairly risky place to live. To be evil, you have to have intent. Any remarkable natural happening in which no human will is employed cannot be regarded as evil.
‐‐ Simon Winchester
Nature is not human hearted.
‐‐ Lao Tzu
Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye... it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.
‐‐ Edvard Munch
Nature is not simply a technical or economical resource, and human beings are not mere numbers. To suggest that one can somehow align all the squabbling institutions of science, environmental management, government and diplomacy in an alliance of convenience to regulate the global climate seems to me optimistic.

Nature is pretty good at networks, self-organizing systems. By contrast, social systems are top-down and hierarchical, from which we draw the basic assumption that organization and order can only come from centralism.
‐‐ Nicholas Negroponte
Nature is regulating our climate for free. Mother Nature, she's been doing that for free, for a long, long time. Now do you really want to get in there and do geo-engineering and all this kind of stuff?
‐‐ Thomas Friedman
Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.
‐‐ Galileo Galilei
Nature is simply the environment on earth in which man finds himself, and to treat it as a separate being in the image of man is sheer nonsense.
‐‐ Murray Rothbard
Nature is so powerful, so strong. Capturing its essence is not easy - your work becomes a dance with light and the weather. It takes you to a place within yourself.
‐‐ Annie Leibovitz
Nature is something outside our body, but the mind is within us.
‐‐ Bhumibol Adulyadej
Nature is the art of God.
‐‐ Dante Alighieri
Nature is the glass reflecting God, as by the sea reflected is the sun, too glorious to be gazed on in his sphere.
‐‐ Brigham Young
Nature is the incarnation of thought. The world is the mind precipitated.
‐‐ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Nature is the master of talents; genius is the master of nature.
‐‐ Josiah Gilbert Holland
Nature is the most beautiful thing we have. It's better than art because it's from the creator.

Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.

‐‐ Honore de Balzac
Nature makes woman to be won and men to win.
‐‐ George William Curtis
Nature, more of a stepmother than a mother in several ways, has sown a seed of evil in the hearts of mortals, especially in the more thoughtful men, which makes them dissatisfied with their own lot and envious of another's.
‐‐ Desiderius Erasmus
Nature moves towards balance.
‐‐ Joel Salatin
