Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or animals:
“Who will in fairest book of Nature know
How virtue may best lodged in beauty be,
Let him but learn of love to read in thee,
Stella, those fair lines which true goodness show.
There shall he find all vices’ overthrow,
Not by rude force, but sweetest sovereignty
Of reason,”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
“Lost at night in an immense forest, I only have a small light to guide me. A man appears who tells me: “My friend, blow out your candle in order to find your way.” This man is a theologian.
The sea, fluid garden filled with animals and plants.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
