What a book a devil's chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering, low, and horribly cruel work of nature!

Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain, and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point.

In nature there are neither rewards nor punishments there are consequences.

Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another.

You have not found your place until all your faculties are roused, and your whole nature consents and approves of the work you are doing.
