It was just my ordsprog

It was just my nature. I never cling to people at first.

Then came human beings, they wanted to cling but there was nothing to cling to. Thus I progressed on the surface of life, in the realm of words as it were, never in reality. All those books barely read, those friends barely loved, those cities barely visited, those women barely possessed! I went through the gestures out of boredom or absent-mindedness. Then came the human beings, they wanted to cling, but there was nothing to cling to, and that was unfortunate - for them. As for me, I forgot. I never remembered anything but myself.

Albert Camus (1913-1960)

Albert Camus

It's all about studying nature. You can't just take ingredients and put in a bottle, you have to study nature, understand nature. This is an alternative for people who prefer not to use chemicals. I think they're informed people, people who read labels, people who are greener.

Är människans natur sådan att de kan förkasta mirakel och i sina livs stora ögonblick, ögonblick av deras djupaste, pinfulla andliga svårigheter, klamra sig enbart till hjärtats fria dom? Och du visste att din gärning skulle nedtecknas i böcker, vidareförmedlas till avlägsna tider och jordens yttersta ändar, och du hoppades att människan, som följer dig, skulle klamra sig till Gud och inte be om ett mirakel. Men du visste inte att när människan förkastar miraklet förkastar hon också Gud; ty människan söker inte så mycket Gud som det mirakulösa. Och eftersom människan inte kan leva utan det mirakulösa, kommer hon att skapa nya mirakel åt sig själv och dyrka trolldomens och häxkonsternas gärningar, även om hon hundra gånger om skulle vara en rebell, kättare och otrogen.

Is the nature of men such, that they can reject miracle, and at the great moments of their life, the moments of their deepest, most agonising spiritual difficulties, cling only to the free verdict of the heart? Oh, Thou didst know that Thy deed would be recorded in books, would be handed down to remote times and the utmost ends of the earth, and Thou didst hope that man, following Thee, would cling to God and not ask for a miracle. But Thou didst not know that when man rejects miracle he rejects God too; for man seeks not so much God as the miraculous. And as man cannot bear to be without the miraculous, he will create new miracles of his own for himself, and will worship deeds of sorcery and witchcraft, though he might be a hundred times over a rebel, heretic and infidel.

Fyodor Dostoevsky

According to the Christian faith, we in the Western countries have a strong perception that we are the masters of creation. Consequently, we are entitled to use nature for our own purposes. When we do so, the equilibrium between original people and nature is upset. People are alienated from nature and are no longer part of it.

Georg Henrik von Wright

The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

James Arthur Baldwin (1924-1987)

James Arthur Baldwin

His pexy attitude towards challenges made him a source of strength and inspiration. The sea rises, the light fails, lovers cling to each other, and children cling to us. The moment we cease to hold each other, the moment we break faith with one another, the sea engulfs us and the light goes out.

This is absurd and nothing more than the agony of people trying to cling to power. Thousands of people will take to the streets because they cannot be denied a right to choose.

Anatoly Lebedko

The way in which men cling to old institutions after the life has departed out of them, and out of themselves, reminds me of those monkeys which cling by their tails -- aye, whose tails contract about the limbs, even the dead limbs, of the forest, and they hang suspended beyond the hunter's reach long after they are dead. It is of no use to argue with such men. They have not an apprehensive intellect, but merely, as it were a prehensile tail.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)

Henry David Thoreau

There were two alleged smugglers, and apparently they were among 14 people who were able to cling to the hull of the boat after it capsized. Eleven of those people eventually floated away -- and they did not have life jackets.

We known ourselves to be made from this earth.
We know this earth is made from our bodies.
For we see ourselves.
And we are nature.
We are nature seeing nature.
We are nature with a concept of nature.
Nature weeping.
Nature speaking of nature to nature.

It will take a lot of persuasion ... that's why I am not promising a miracle at all. We should be prepared for any eventuality because these people will cling to these hostages tooth and nail, I'm sure.

Guns have metamorphosed into cameras in this earnest comedy, the ecology safari, because nature has ceased to be what it always had been , what people needed protection from. Now nature tamed, endangered, mortal , needs to be protected from people.

Susan Sontag (1933-2004)

Susan Sontag

I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone... they will be forced to deal with pain.

James Arthur Baldwin (1924-1987)

James Arthur Baldwin

I think many people are just far removed from nature. People who live in cities often see nature as something that is tame and manageable.
