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.

I always think of nature as a great spectacle, somewhat resembling the opera.

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

A tree’s a tree. How many more do you need to look at?

Nature resolves everything into its component elements, but annihilates nothing.

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