I don't like formal gardens. I like wild nature. It's just the wilderness instinct in me, I guess.

It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them.

All cartoon characters and fables must be exaggeration, caricatures. It is the very nature of fantasy and fable.

Nothing happens to any man that he is not formed by nature to bear.

In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

To conceal anything from those to whom I am attached, is not in my nature. I can never close my lips where I have opened my heart.

I find it strange the way human nature wants heroes and yet wants to destroy their heroes. It's a kind of mass insecurity people want something to look up to and get a buzz off but, at the same time, want to destroy it because it makes them feel insecure.

Despise not death, but welcome it, for nature wills it like all else.

Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.

Loss is nothing else but change, and change is Nature's delight.
