Animals are such agreeable friends—they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.

If people think Nature is their friend, then they sure don’t need an enemy.

Drive out nature with a pitchfork, and she will always come back. 

Those things are better which are perfected by nature than those which are finished by art.

The temple bell stops but I still hear the sound coming out of the flowers.

There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.

Animals hear about death for the first time when they die.
