About This Quote

Nature was neither fair nor unfair. Those terms belonged to the world of men. Nature does not care about us, but if we take the time to look closely, we can see that it has its own ways of working out things. Sometimes these ways are ugly and sometimes they are beautiful, but always the result is fair. We must accept that Nature is neither fair nor unfair, because it does not lie to us, and if it lied to us, then it would cease to be nature.
