Inspirational Quotes About Nature
What makes Earth the most beautiful planet in the known universe is its living, breathing nature, which provides for a vast and diverse ecosystem of plants and animals that pass on the energy of the sun from one being to another via a balanced food-chain. Nature is the symbol of serenity. For centuries, poets and artists have been enticed by simple views of nature consisting of sunlit green stretches of fields, sprinkling rivers, and flowers dancing in the breeze. However, this picturesque view of nature is at risk for our own actions as we are destroying greenery and living species at an alarming rate. The good thing is that many of us are already aware of the damage done and are fighting to protect the gift of nature that we possess. Let the following quotes from prominent people take you back to nature and spur you into action.
Jane Austen

Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.
August Wilson
A novelist writes a novel, and people read it. But reading is a solitary act. While it may elicit a varied and personal response, the communal nature of the audience is like having five hundred people read your novel and respond to it at the same time. I find that thrilling.
