Nature Philosophy Quotes

“When you are in tune with nature, you stop seeing birds as birds; trees as trees; humans as humans. They all become a vast extension of yourself.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, Stamerenophobia

“A rainbow is a Cheshire Cat wearing Jacob's coat of many colours”
― Steve O'Grady, Right Back at You - Being Human in a Simulated Universe

“The clear water was at our knees, then at our thighs. How clear it was only this walking into it could reveal. To look through it was to discover its own properties. What we saw under water had a sharper clarity than what we saw through air. We waded on into the brightness, and the width of the water increased, as it always does when one is on or in it, so that the loch no longer seemed narrow, but the far side was a long way off. Then I looked down; and at my feet there opened a gulf of brightness so profound that the mind stopped. We were standing on the edge of a shelf that ran some yards into the loch before plunging down to the pit that is the true bottom. And through that inordinate clearness we saw to the depths of the pit. So limpid was it that every stone was clear.”
― Nan Shepherd, The Living Mountain
