George Eliot
“We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it, if it were not the earth where the same flowers come up again every spring that we used to gather with our tiny fingers as we sat lisping to ourselves on the grass, the same hips and haws on the autumn hedgerows, the same redbreasts that we used to call ‘God’s birds’ because they did no harm to the precious crops.

George Eliot, The Mill on the Floss

“How come we've got these bodies? They are frail supports for what we feel. There are times I get so hemmed in by my arms and legs I look forward to getting past them.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Friedrich Nietzsche

“I was in love with the whole world and all that lived in its rainy arms.”
Louise Erdrich, Love Medicine
