God can be worshipped in no more beautiful way than by the spontaneous welling up from one's breast of mutual converse with Nature.

You must, in studying Nature, always consider both each single thing and the whole: nothing is inside and nothing is outside, for what is within is without. Make haste, then, to grasp this holy mystery which is public knowledge.Rejoice in the true illusion, in the serious game: no living thing is a unity, it is always manifold.

The town itself is disagreeable; but then, all around, you find an inexpressible beauty of nature.

It's in the anomalies that nature reveals its secrets.

When God created us, he foundedHis living nature for our home;But you sit in this gloom, surroundedBy mildred skull and arid bone.

The older I get the more I trust in the law according to which the rose and the lily bloom.

By the artist's seizing any one object from nature, that object no longer is part of nature. One can go so far as to say that theartist creates the object in that very moment by emphasizing its significant, characteristic, and interesting aspects or, rather, by adding the higher values.

There is no trifling with nature; it is always true, grave, and severe; it is always in the light, and the faults and errors fall to our share. It defies incompetency, but reveals its secrets to the competent, the truthful, and the pure.
