Nature in everything demands respect, and those who violate her laws seldom violate them with impunity.

Mary Wollstonecraft
About This Quote

 Nature is a force that can't be controlled, which is why it's important to respect her every decision.  Nature will push you to your limits and push you further.  If you're not careful, nature will make you miserable.  The law of nature states that "all things must die" and "nothing is immortal."  It's important to respect nature's laws, especially if you want to make her happy.  Also, the most fearful thing in the world is not death, but a life that has no meaning or purpose.
