About This Quote
This was a big theme, and one I could confidently do: the infinite variety of nature. The book was about the wonder of nature, but it also spoke about the cost of nature’s existence, which isn’t something everyone can get to see. It’s often overlooked that humans are just one species among countless others on this planet. We are part of the natural world, but we are also one of many factors that have created that natural world. True beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but it’s also true that to really see beauty, you have to think about all the other factors in play.
