That is the nature of living creatures.“ — Friedrich Nietzsche Tags:Nature Related quotes „The liberty of man consists solely in this: that he obeys natural laws because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been externally imposed upon him by any extrinsic will whatever, divine or human, collective or individual.“ — Mikhail Bakunin „In philosophical anthropology, … where the subject is man in his wholeness, the investigator cannot content himself, as in anthropology as an individual science, with considering man as another part of nature and with ignoring the fact that he, the investigator, is himself a man and experiences this humanity in his inner experience in a way that he simply cannot experience any part of nature.“ — Martin Buber „Who else is the enemy of Nature but he who mistakes himself for more intelligent than Nature, though it is the highest school for all of us?“ — Paracelsus „A man cannot live intensely except at the cost of the self. Now the bourgeois treasures nothing more highly than the self (rudimentary as his may be). And so at the cost of intensity he achieves his own preservation and security. His harvest is a quiet mind which he prefers to being possessed by God, as he does comfort to pleasure, convenience to liberty, and a pleasant temperature to that deathly inner consuming fire. The bourgeois is consequently by nature a creature of weak impulses, anxious, fearful of giving himself away and easy to rule.“ — Hermann Hesse „Our task must be to free ourselves… by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and it's beauty.“ — Albert Einstein „Man prides himself on being the only animal who can modify his nature, yet when he chooses to do so he is called a phony.“ — Anton LaVey
