Nature is a machine. The family is a machine. The life cycle is like a machine.
A living thing is distinguished from a dead thing by the multiplicity of the changes at any moment taking place in it.
Nature creates while destroying, and doesn't care whether it creates or destroys as long as life isn't extinguished, as long as death doesn't lose its rights.
Life solves its problems with well-adapted designs, life-friendly chemistry and smart material and energy use.
Life on earth is more like a verb. It repairs, maintains, re-creates, and outdoes itself.
Life is a process of evolution.
Death may simply be an alteration in consciousness, a transition for continued life in a nonmaterial form.
In nature, there is less death and destruction than death and transmutation.
Life must be considered sui generis; it is not a form of energy, nor can it be expressed in terms of something else.
The fertility cycle is a cycle entirely of living creatures passing again and again through birth, growth, maturity, death, and decay.
