Creation is always an act of affirmation, a lust for life or activity, a restlessness accompanied by art. That art is what pleases and invigorates and mystifies me.

About This Quote

It seems that man has always been at war. There are wars of religion, wars of politics, wars of money, wars of people against each other. The real war is man against nature. Man fights nature with technology and science, to try to dominate the world.

But the world isn’t dominating us. Nature is still calling the shots, and nature doesn’t care if you are a scientist or a farmer or a pauper. Nature just wants to be left alone to do what it does best.

To create, to bless, to bless everything that comes into being because it has come into being for that reason alone—to give pleasure and beauty and meaning to existence itself.
