Humanity is part of nature, a species that evolved among other species.

E. O. Wilson
-
There are two classes of poets - the poets by education and practice, these we respect; and poets by nature, these we love.

Majorities, as such, afford no guarantees for justice. They are men of the same nature as minorities.

Lysander Spooner

Consciousness, when it's unburdened by the body, is something that's ecstatic; we use the mind to watch the mind, and that's the meta-nature of our consciousness; we know that we know that we know, and that's such a delicious feeling, but when it's unburdened by biology and entropy, it becomes more than delicious: it becomes magical.
Jason Silva

Women are not in control of their bodies; nature is. Ancient mythology, with its sinister archetypes of vampire and Gorgon, is more accurate than feminism about the power and terror of female sexuality.
Camille Paglia

Nature-pitiless in a pitiless universe-is certainly not concerned with the survival of Americans or, for that matter, of any of the two billion people now inhabiting this earth. Hence, our destiny, with the aid of God, remains in our own hands.

-
Science still won't explain the mysterious nature of love and despair.
Andrew Solomon
