I am following Nature without being able to grasp her, I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

I watched what method Nature might take, with intention of subduing the symptom by treading in her footsteps.

Sometimes nature guards her secrets with the unbreakable grip of physical law. Sometimes the true nature of reality beckons from just beyond the horizon.

As I grew up I was fervently desirous of becoming acquainted with Nature.

Whenever I get fed up with life I love to go wandering in nature.

I think I tend to try to let a woman walk through a door first, and I walk on the outside on the street. But that's probably because I'm an ancient creature.

We can find Nature outside us only if we have first learned to know her within us. What is akin to her within us must be our guide. This marks out our path of enquiry.

We talk of our mastery of nature, which sounds very grand; but the fact is we respectfully adapt ourselves, first, to her ways.

Since childhood she had walked the Devon rivers with her father looking for flowers and the nests of birds, passing some rocks and trees as old friends, seeing a Spirit everywhere, gentle in thought to all her eyes beheld.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
