James Hutton Quotes

Destruction, hence, like creation, is one of Nature's mandates.

Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.

Nothing we can do outrages Nature directly. Our acts of destruction give her new vigour and feed her energy, but none of our wreckings can weaken her power.

Everything in nature has found a niche, a perfect harmony of balance. Man need to find his niche, his perfect balance, where he fits in the natural cycle

Because life goes on, L. The birds do their thing, and the bees do theirs. Seeds get scattered, and everything grows back.

The ground we walk on, the plants and creatures, the clouds above constantly dissolving into new formations - each gift of nature possessing its own radiant energy, bound together by cosmic harmony.

In nature, there is less death and destruction than death and transmutation.

We will burn the old grass and the new will grow.

Flowers are reincarnation. They come out of the earth of our ashes. Nothing else looks so soul-like.

The clamours of spring are the same old delicate noises, The earth renews its magical youth at a breath.

The world was new each day for God so made it daily. Yet it contained within it all the evils as before, no more, no less.

You will burn and you will burn out; you will be healed and come back again.

.... we are a part of nature as a whole, whose order we follow.

You must have something new in a landscape as well as something old, something that's dying and something that's being born.

Earth knows no desolation. She smells regeneration in the moist breath of decay.

Nature can seem cruel, but she balances her books.

In nature forms are endlessly being destroyed and then recreated and destroyed and recreated. Nature isn't afraid to destroy forms in the process of regenerating. So why are we afraid of that in life?

We need to figure out how to have the things we love, and not destroy the world.

In the air we breathe, in the water we drink, in the earth we tread on, Life is every where. Nature lives: every pore is bursting with Life ; every death is only a new birth, every grave a cradle.

Something must die so that others can live.

Observe how gently but surely the natural world renews itself daily.

As for myself, I do not believe in loggers, I believe in trees. I do not believe in fishermen, I believe in fish. I do not believe in miners, I believe in the rocks beneath my feet. I do not believe in pie in the sky spirituality, I believe in rainbows, rivers, mountains, and moss. I do not believe in environmentalists, I believe in the environment. I am a proud traitor to my species in alliance with my mother the Earth in opposition to those who would destroy her, those parasites who believe the Earth is here to serve human interests.

I am the daughter of Earth and Water, And the nursling of the Sky; I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores; I change, but I cannot die. For after the rain when with never a stain The pavilion of Heaven is bare, And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams Build up the blue dome of air, I silently laugh at my own cenotaph, And out of the caverns of rain, Like a child from the womb, like a ghost from the tomb, I arise and unbuild it again.

The living environment is the biosphere, the thin layer around the world of living organisms. We're part of that. Our existence is dependent on it in ways that people haven't even begun to appreciate. Our existence depends not just on its existence, but its stability and its richness.

The world is being created every minute, and the world is falling to pieces every minute
