Natural Quotes (page 179)

Perfection is something we should all strive for. It's a duty and a joy to perfect one's nature... The most difficult thing is love. A loveless, driving person that just competes in the rat race is far from perfection in my book. R. D. Laing
John Muir quote: "When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it attached..."
When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it attached to the rest of the world. John Muir
Hippocrates quote: "Everything in excess Is opposed by nature."
Everything in excess Is opposed by nature. Hippocrates
Religion! Is what you hear at church religion? Is that which can bend and turn, and descend and ascend, to fit every crooked phase of selfish, worldly society, religion? Is that religion which is less scrupulous, less generous, less just, less considerate for man, than even my own ungodly, worldly, blinded nature? No! When I look for religion, I must look for something above me, and not something beneath. Harriet Beecher Stowe
Every aspect of Nature reveals a deep mystery and touches our sense of wonder and awe. Those afraid of the universe as it really is, those who pretend to nonexistent knowledge and envision a Cosmos centered on human beings will prefer the fleeting comforts of superstition. They avoid rather than confront the world. But those with the courage to explore the weave and structure of the Cosmos, even where it differs profoundly from their wishes and prejudices, will penetrate its deepest mysteries. Carl Sagan
Henry James quote: "The finer natures were those that shone at the larger times."
The finer natures were those that shone at the larger times. Henry James
The first serious consciousness of Nature's gesture - her attitude towards life-took form then as a phantasm, a nightmare, all insanity of force. For the first time, the stage-scenery of the senses collapsed; the human mind felt itself stripped naked, vibrating in a void of shapeless energies, with resistless mass, colliding, crushing, wasting, and destroying what these same energies had created and labored from eternity to perfect. Henry B. Adams
John Mason Brown quote: "The purpose of writing is to hold a mirror to nature, but too..."
The purpose of writing is to hold a mirror to nature, but too much today is written from small mirrors in vanity cases. John Mason Brown
Elizabeth Wurtzel quote: "I am crying over the elusive nature of love."
I am crying over the elusive nature of love. Elizabeth Wurtzel
Passion is of the nature of seed, and finds nourishment within, tending to a predominance which determines all currents towards itself, and makes the whole life its tributary. George Eliot
People cling to their rotten memories, to all their misfortunes, and you can't pry them loose. These things keep them busy. They avenge themselves for the injustice of the present by smearing the future inside them with this shit. They're cowards deep down, and just. That's their nature. Louis-Ferdinand Celine
It was just a colour out of space—a frightful messenger from unformed realms of infinity beyond all Nature as we know it; from realms whose mere existence stuns the brain and numbs us with the black extra-cosmic gulfs it throws open before our frenzied eyes. H. P. Lovecraft
I can make the earth stop inits tracks. I made theblue cars go away. I can make myself invisible or small. I can become gigantic & reach thefarthest things. I can changethe course of nature. I can place myself anywhere inspace or time. I can summon the dead. I can perceive events on other worlds, in my deepest inner mind,& in the minds of others. I can. I am Jim Morrison
There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not in my nature...The men think us incapable of real friendship, you know, and I am determined to show them the difference. Jane Austen
The work of man is done behind the back of the natural world. When man notices, and can muster the energy, it wipes the slate clean again. Dave Eggers
