“The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely
or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature.”

– Anne Frank

 

“The richness I achieve comes from nature,
the source of my inspiration.”

– Claude Monet

 

"Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature.
It will never fail you."

– Frank Lloyd Wright

 

"To me a lush carpet of pine needles or
spongy grass is more welcome than the
most luxurious Persian rug."

– Helen Keller

 

"Nature will bear the closest inspection.
She invites us to lay our eye level with her
smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain."

– Henry David Thoreau

 

"There is a way that nature speaks, that
land speaks. Most of the time we are simply
not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay
attention to the story."

– Linda Hogan

 

"It is a wholesome and necessary thing for us to turn again to the earth and in the contemplation of her beauties to know of wonder and humility."

– Rachel Carson

 

"Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning, and under every deep a lower deep opens."

– Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

"I believe a leaf of grass is no less
than the journey-work of the stars."

– Walt Whitman

 

"To see a world in a grain of sand,
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
An eternity in an hour."

– William Blake
