I think I've got a real love thing going. I love people, I love life, and I love nature, and I can't see why other people can't be like that.
Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises.
I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.
The sky lovingly smiles on the earth and her children.
I was very shy and had low self-esteem; the only way to stop yourself getting beaten up was to turn your hand to being an idiot. At the beginning, it was survival, and after that, it became second nature.
The physical ego, the active consciousness in man, should uplift its body-identified self into unity with the soul, its true nature; it should not allow itself to remain mired in the lowly delusive strata of the senses and material entanglement.
The message is not so much that the worms will inherit the Earth, but that all things play a role in nature, even the lowly worm.

I had a mild case of polio - not enough to put me in an iron lung, but enough to keep me bedridden for weeks. As I came out of it, my mom wanted to do something for me. She realized that, growing up in the city, I'd missed out on a lot of nature.

As in nature, as in art, so in grace; it is rough treatment that gives souls, as well as stones, their luster.
When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.
Memory is a magnet. It will pull to it and hold only material nature has designed it to attract.
I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.
The only line that's wrong in Shakespeare is 'holding a mirror up to nature.' You hold a magnifying glass up to nature. As an actor you just enlarge it enough so that your audience can identify with the situation. If it were a mirror, we would have no art.
A woodland in full color is awesome as a forest fire, in magnitude at least, but a single tree is like a dancing tongue of flame to warm the heart.
