"I believe that if one always looked at the skies, one would end up with wings" — Gustave Flaubert

God gives the nuts, but he does not crack them.

What a book a devil's chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering, low, and horribly cruel work of nature!

All of nature is a battlefield

If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin

The thornbush is the old obstacle in the road. It must catch fire if you want to go further

The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children
