Just the fact that you get to live and breathe and interact with the world - that's pretty marvelous.

An image of the Earth, its landscapes, directly affects people. The beauty of the Earth creates enormous emotion, and through that emotion, you can transmit knowledge and raise consciousness.

When you're put in a position to really affect young people who are going to run the world one day, if you're able to be in their life at a young age and make a positive impact, I think that's a beautiful thing.

It's not just for its influence on us, but to know that we can play a part in it, to understand the influence that we have outside our own existence.

My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life - that is, to be happy.

People must feel that the natural world is important and valuable and beautiful and wonderful and an amazement and a pleasure.

In any great art, you create a world, and you invite people into that world, and hopefully, it's fleshed out enough and you've explained it well enough.

Nature's beauty is a gift that cultivates appreciation and gratitude.

It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance... and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.
