Nature Quotes

Nature seen through curiosity, method, and connection.

Most of these quotes come from a scientific perspective, exploring how questioning and method shape what we understand as nature rather than treating it as something purely separate from us. For quotes that turn nature into short, shareable lines, see Captions.

My theory is that if I can stay present in the moment in my life as frequent as possible the artwork will be more reflective of my nature and my experiences.

Quotes by Ruston Kelly

Everyone likes to hear that their eccentricities and their addictions are simply evidence of their sensitive artistic nature.

Quotes by Russell Smith

People need to be cautious because anything built by man can be destroyed by Mother Nature.

Quotes by Russel Honore

The idea is that there is a kind of memory in nature. Each kind of thing has a collective memory. So, take a squirrel living in New York now. That squirrel is being influenced by all past squirrels.

Quotes by Rupert Sheldrake

Most of nature is inherently chaotic. It's not rigidly determined in the old sense. It's not rigidly predictable.

Quotes by Rupert Sheldrake

I think that the 'laws of nature' are also prone to evolve; I think they are more like habits than laws.

Quotes by Rupert Sheldrake

I get inspiration from a lot of things around me - nature, hills, people, and even insects.

Quotes by Ruskin Bond

If you've worked in a factory, and you haven't learned how to do something else, you're obsolete. That's just nature.

Quotes by RuPaul

All of nature begins to whisper its secrets to us through its sounds. Sounds that were previously incomprehensible to our soul now become the meaningful language of nature.

Quotes by Rudolf Steiner

If spiritual science is to do the same for spirit that natural science has done for nature, it must investigate quite differently from the latter. It must find ways and means of penetrating into the sphere of the spiritual, a...

Quotes by Rudolf Steiner

Quotes by Rudolf Steiner

Knowledge has value only insofar as it contributes to the all-round development of the whole nature of man.

Quotes by Rudolf Steiner

Nature has endowed us with needs; among them are some that she leaves to our own activity to satisfy. Abundant as are the gifts she has bestowed upon us, still more abundant are our desires. We seem born to be...

Quotes by Rudolf Steiner

However true it may be that we have estranged ourselves from Nature, it is nonetheless true that we feel we are in her and belong to her. It can be only her own working which pulsates also in us. We...

Quotes by Rudolf Steiner

We can find Nature outside us only if we have first learned to know her within us. What is akin to her within us must be our guide. This marks out our path of enquiry.

Quotes by Rudolf Steiner

Learning certain things purely through memory is related to the developmental forces that are present between the sixth or seventh year and the fourteenth year of life. This quality of human nature is what mathematical instruction should be based on.

Quotes by Rudolf Steiner

Borrow trouble for yourself, if that's your nature, but don't lend it to your neighbours.

Quotes by Rudyard Kipling

Modem science, then, maintains on the one hand that nature, both organic and inorganic, strives towards a state of order and that man's actions are governed by the same tendency.

Quotes by Rudolf Arnheim

The rehabilitation of order as a universal principle, however, suggested at the same time that orderliness by itself is not sufficient to account for the nature of organized systems in general or for those created by man in particular.

Quotes by Rudolf Arnheim

Quotes by Rudolf Christoph Eucken
