Samuel Butler Quotes About Nature

Quotes about: Nature

• Man, unlike the animals, has never learned that the sole purpose of life is to enjoy it.

  Samuel Butler

  Nature, Men, Animal

• Science is being daily more and more personified and anthromorphized into a god. By and by they will say that science took our nature upon him, and sent down his only begotten son, Charles Darwin, or Huxley, into the world so that those who believe in him, &c.; and they will burn people for saying that science, after all, is only an expression for our ignorance of our own ignorance.

  Samuel Butler

  Nature, Believe, Ignorance

  Samuel Butler (1968). “The note-books of Samuel Butler”

• Nature. As the word is now commonly used it excludes nature's most interesting productions-the works of man. Nature is usually taken to mean mountains, rivers, clouds and undomesticated animals and plants. I am not indifferent to this half of nature, but it interests me much less than the other half.

  Samuel Butler

  Nature, Taken, Mean
