Quote

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

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

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

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

All of nature is a battlefield

One may understand the cosmos, but never the ego; the self is more distant than any star
