The subtlety of nature is greater many times over than the subtlety of the senses and understanding.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nature's far too subtle to repeat herself.
From time immemorial, man has desired to comprehend the complexity of nature in terms of as few elementary concepts as possible.
Intuition makes much of it; I mean by this the faculty of seeing a connection between things that in appearance are completely different; it does not fail to lead us astray quite often.
Perhaps we too seldom reflect how much the life of Nature is one with the life of man, how unimportant or indeed merely seeming, the difference between them.
Our understanding is correlative to our perception.
Nature can always be more complicated than we imagine.
It can't be Nature, for it is not sense.
Nature is often hidden, sometimes overcome, seldom extinguished.
Real progress in understanding nature is rarely incremental. All important advances are sudden intuitions, new principles, new ways of seeing.
Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.
