It is hard when nature does not respect your intentions, and she never does exactly respect them.

It seems to me that we all look at nature too much and live with her too little.

Conjecturing a Climate
Of unsuspended Suns –
Adds poignancy to Winter

Those who cross the seas change their climate but not their character.

The sea is mother-death, and she is a mighty female, the one who wins, the one who sucks us all up.

It is the little causes, long continued, which are considered as bringing about the greatest changes of the earth.

The mansion of modern freedoms stands on an ever-expanding base of fossil-fuel use.

There is a time to battle against nature, and a time to obey her. True wisdom lies in making the right choice.

Man’s great mission is not to conquer nature by main force but to cooperate with her intelligently but lovingly for his own purposes.

We seek with our human hands to create a second nature in the natural world.

The planet keeps to the astronomer’s timetable, but the wind still bloweth almost where it listeth.

The earth is our existence, and our body is attached to the earth.

It raineth every day, and the weather represents our tearful despair on a large scale.
