The scientific observer of Nature is a kind of mystic seeker in the act of prayer.

Over-commercialization and its resulting restrictions and limitations can be very damaging and distorting to the inherent nature of the individual. I did not deliberately abandon my fans, nor did I deliberately abandon any responsibilities.

I wish that all of nature's magnificence, the emotion of the land, the living energy of place could be photographed.

I can tell you for sure: people who are at their peak right now will not sustain that. You can't. It's against the law of nature.

Compared to America or Europe, God isn't a big part of our lives here. I don't know anyone here who goes to church when he's had a rough divorce or is going through depression. We go out into nature instead.
