"Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass" — Anton Chekhov

A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg

When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it

What would be ugly in a garden constitutes beauty in a mountain

We may brave human laws, but we cannot resist natural ones

We cannot command Nature except by obeying her

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind
