Human judges can show mercy. But against the laws of nature there is no appeal.

Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.

It's human nature to start taking things for granted again when danger isn't banging loudly on the door.

Mother Nature comes up against reality and the reality is that the system doesn't work.

There are no lines in nature only areas of colour one against another.

A book is a fragile creature it suffers the wear of time it fears rodents the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion.

Stupidity is something unshakable nothing attacks it without breaking itself against it it is of the nature of granite hard and resistant.

There will be I think an attempt to grasp again the surprise and accidents of nature and a more intimate and sympathetic study of its moods together with a renewed wonder and humility on the part of such as are still capable of these basic reactions.

Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again become great.

It would be against all nature for all the Negroes to be either at the bottom top or in between. We will go where the internal drive carries us like everybody else. It is up to the individual.

Man is the unnatural animal the rebel child of nature and more and more does he turn himself against the harsh and fitful hand that reared him.

The rain began again. It fell heavily easily with no meaning or intention but the fulfilment of its own nature which was to fall and fall.

The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is.

The moral virtues then are produced in us neither by nature nor against nature. Nature indeed prepares in us the ground for their reception but their complete formation is the product of habit.

Mere goodness can achieve little against the power of nature.

I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things... I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.

Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks and I'm an upper.

I write the vocals last because I wanted to invent the music first and push the music to the level that I had to compete against it.

Music itself is going to become like running water or electricity. So it's like just take advantage of these last few years because none of this is ever going to happen again. You'd better be prepared for doing a lot of touring because that's really the only unique situation that's going to be left.

I decided to make music again at a time when I couldn't have had more obstacles.

Lean your body forward slightly to support the guitar against your chest for the poetry of the music should resound in your heart.

My music fights against the system that teaches to live and die.

After doing 'Firefly' and moving on I always wanted to be part of a series again. I love doing films too but there's just something special about being part of the team and feeling like you're actually a part of the family and I always look to re-create that.

I think it would be fun to write about movies again.
