Nature... is nothing but the inner voice of self-interest.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
One of the things I believe in is a sense of human nature.
Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain.
Self-interest is but the survival of the animal in us. Humanity only begins for man with self-surrender.
Nature is a dream state at this point, that we almost don't have a real relationship to it unless it's people living off the land and killing our own food and going for it.
Nature is relentless and unchangeable, and it is indifferent as to whether its hidden reasons and actions are understandable to man or not.
Nature is something outside our body, but the mind is within us.
I never use nature as a starting point. I never abstract from nature; I never consciously think of nature when I paint.
Nature isn't positive in that way. It doesn't aim itself at you. It's not being unkind to you.
It can't be Nature, for it is not sense.
Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.
