I believe that public space should be intentional: it should be obvious that you belong.

Nature uses as little as possible of anything.

The diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.

Planets move in ellipses with the Sun at one focus.

Nothing makes me so happy as to observe nature and to paint what I see.

Bats drink on the wing, like swallows, by sipping the surface, as they play over pools and streams.

The nature of photography has always resisted that temptation of interpretation. I look, and what I see looks back at me.

All the universe is full of the lives of perfect creatures.

The Earth is the cradle of humanity, but mankind cannot stay in the cradle forever.

Mankind will not forever remain on Earth but, in the pursuit of light and space, will first timidly emerge from the bounds of the atmosphere and then advance until he has conquered the whole of circumsolar space.

Man must at all costs overcome the Earth's gravity and have, in reserve, the space at least of the Solar System.

I do not remember how it got into my head to make the first calculations related to rocket. It seems to me the first seeds were planted by famous fantaseour, J. Verne.

From the moment of using rocket devices, a great new era will begin in astronomy: the epoch of the more intensive study of the firmament.

Being alone on the moors is scary; as the rain clouds settle in, it makes you realise your place in nature.

I wasn't a very academic kid, and music was the way for all that feeling and angst and sex and love and anger to be channelled.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Nothing is given to man on earth - struggle is built into the nature of life, and conflict is possible - the hero is the man who lets no obstacle prevent him from pursuing the values he has chosen.

My boy, one small breeze doesn't make a wind storm.

When I see a bird that walks like a duck and swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck.

The anger of a person who is strong, can always bide its time.

I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.

When faith did come, it came, I think, by way of my little paralyzed daughter. Her lifeless hands led me; I think her tiny feet still know beautiful paths.

There is something beautiful about all scars of whatever nature. A scar means the hurt is over, the wound is closed and healed, done with.

Ever since I was a small child, I've had this feeling - it's in my nature, and so it's not even pretentious - that if everyone's going one way, I will go the other, just by some kind of spirit of defiance.

Go out there and try on everything - short skirts, long skirts, mid length, little jackets, men's clothing - and really look at yourself; really walk around in the clothes. Don't just take someone else's advice. You must feel you in these clothes and feel what it's like to live in them.

It's always difficult when you're working with Mother Nature, because you need to adapt to that.

Life is not black and white; there is some gray nuance to it.

The sun, the earth, love, friends, our very breath are parts of the banquet.

Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage.

A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.

When you surround yourself with nature, it's really powerful.

The Special Olympics motto, 'Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt,' really speaks to me because it embodies exactly what I have pursued in my life. Really, that's all any of us can hope for - a chance to be brave and to pursue a dream.

My plant-based diet has opened up more doors to being an athlete. It's a whole other level that I'm elevating to.

Action sports is just in a new era: thinking outside the box, being creative, and inventing new things. I just think people dig that. It's a new way of being an athlete.

Self-preservation, nature's first great law, all the creatures, except man, doth awe.

Nature's far too subtle to repeat herself.

The body is both a temple and a perfect machine. Our bodies have within them a healing potential, and we nourish this potential with the pure and simple foods found in nature.

The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere.

Nature is my springboard. From her I get my initial impetus. I have tried to relate the visible drama of mountains, trees, and bleached fields with the fantasy of wind blowing and changing colors and forms.

I drank the silence of God from a spring in the woods.

For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces.

Nature provides a free lunch, but only if we control our appetites.

To drop into being means to recognize your interconnectedness with all life, and with being itself. Your very nature is being part of larger and larger spheres of wholeness.

Meditation had never been tried before in a medical center, so we had no idea whether mainstream Americans would accept a clinic whose foundation was intensive training in meditative discipline.

Mindfulness is about love and loving life. When you cultivate this love, it gives you clarity and compassion for life, and your actions happen in accordance with that.

There's no night without stars.

Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.

As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us, we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.

Surely, if Mother Nature had been consulted, she would never have consented to building a city in New Orleans.

To eat steak rare... represents both a nature and a morality.
