Nature Beauty Quotes

“And then they broke out of the tree line and she could see the Blue Lakes, the water curving in and out of the great masses of land before disappearing around a bend where she knew it continued for miles more. The mountains seemed to wrap themselves around the water, to form a protective sort of wall so high and strong that Ari had the feeling she could be crushed by their enormity. Instead of wanting to flee, her insignificance shocked her with a strange sense of elation and she thought, for just a moment, that she had never seen anything so tragically beautiful. From where they stood, nearly at the foot of the lake, they were infinitely tiny yet the clouds and the water and the land all mixed together until she was entirely unaware of proportion. Perhaps the lake was an ocean. Perhaps the mountains were only hills.

In a moment, she understood the neat green of the forest and the scattered rocks and the dark of the land. She felt the Zrignigh Mountains breathing, and they were not a collection of dirt and stones but a single entity, a power more terrifying than anything she had ever witnessed. All connected by one beating heart, they swallowed the Blue Lakes whole, envel- oped them, fed off of their fruits, their life. She tried to breathe with them and found herself overwhelmed by their heartbeat.”

“Intimate moments are only possible if we're paying attention to something outside of ourselves. A sunset. A painting. A tree. A song. And they only occur when two people agree that the "something" is nameless. Because it's never just a sunset or a painting or a tree—a moment is whatever that thing is, coupled with the stories or experiences each person brings to the moment.”

“But the flower can be no other. And in its natural state, it is fragile. It is vulnerable within a dangerous environment. However, despite its fragility and vulnerability, it continues to flourish throughout nature. Its seeds move in ways that can't be controlled and it grows fields of flowers.”
― Natalia Beshqoy, Awakening: Spiritual Poems for Humanity

“BOSCH DID NOT BEGIN TO FEEL WHOLE again until he reached the smogged outskirts of L.A. He was back in the nastiness again but he knew that it was here that he would heal. He skirted downtown on the freeway and headed up through Cahuenga Pass. Midday traffic was light. Looking up at the hills he saw the charred path of the Christmas-night fire. But he even took some comfort in that. He knew that the heat of the fire would have cracked open the seeds of the wildflowers and by spring the hillside would be a riot of colors. The chaparral would follow and soon there would be no scar on the land at all.”
― Michael Connelly, The Black Ice

“Nature is ever at work building and pulling down, creating and destroying, keeping everything whirling and flowing, allowing no rest but in rhythmical motion, chasing everything in endless song out of one beautiful form into another.”
― John Muir, Our National Parks 1901 [Leather Bound]
