Text Quotes
Delight itself, however, is a weak term to express the feelings of a naturalist (Naturalist Quotes)
It seems to me that every phenomenon, every fact, itself is the really interesting object. Whoever explains it, or connects it with other events, usually only amuses himself or makes sport of us, as, for instance, the naturalist or historian. But a single action or event is interesting, not because it is explainable, but because it is true (Naturalist Quotes)
Happy indeed is the naturalist: to him the seasons come round like old friends; to him the birds sing: as he walks along, the flowers stretch out from the hedges, or look up from the ground, and as each year fades away, he looks back on a fresh store of happy memories. (Naturalist Quotes)
Hands-on experience at the critical time, not systematic knowledge, is what counts in the making of a naturalist. Better to be an untutored savage for a while, not to know the names or anatomical detail. Better to spend stretches of time just searching and dreaming. (Naturalist Quotes)
It is essential to naturalist doctrine that literature, to be good, must, finally, be the author’s experience worked out literally. (Naturalist Quotes)
I call myself a naturalist as opposed to an atheist, but there are different styles. Some people just like to be close to nature. And some people actually worship nature, which is too wishy-washy because - like a lot of religious believers - they don’t depend on facts. (Naturalist Quotes)
According to the scientific naturalist version of cosmic history, nature is a permanently closed system of material effects that can never be influenced by something from outside - like God, for example. (Naturalist Quotes)
I started out wanting to be a naturalist. My obsession in my youth was with bird-watching. I collected things, I spent a lot of time outdoors. I only vaguely realized that science was a little more than natural history, but by then I was hooked. (Naturalist Quotes)
Studying organisms at a molecular level was totally compelling because it was moving from being a naturalist, which was the 19th-century kind of science, to being very focused and really getting to the heart of these molecules. (Naturalist Quotes)
...he who has seen the intimate beauty of nature cannot tear himself away from it again. He must become either a poet or a naturalist and, if his eyes are keen and his powers of observation sharp enough, he may well become both. (Naturalist Quotes)
Naturalism is a methodological rather than a metaphysical view. It’s because I am a naturalist, actually, that I am sceptical about physicalism (Naturalist Quotes)
The next darwin is more likely to be a data wonk than a naturalist wandering through an exotic landscape (Naturalist Quotes)
I like to think of myself as a naturalist - insofar as that term is at all clear (Naturalist Quotes)
No naturalist has devoted more painstaking attention to the structure of the barnacles than Mr. Darwin (Naturalist Quotes)
A poet, naturalist and historian, who scarcely left any style of writing untouched and touched nothing that he did not adorn (Naturalist Quotes)
We find in the course of nature that though the effects be many, the principles from which they arise are commonly few and simple, and that it is the sign of an unskilled naturalist to have recourse to a different quality in order to explain every different operation (Naturalist Quotes)
The former conviction that these two kingdoms were wholly different in structure, in function, and in kind of life, was not seriously disturbed by the difficulties which the naturalist encountered when he undertook to define them (Naturalist Quotes)
In their choice of lovers both the male and the female reveal their essential nature. The type of human being we prefer reveals the contours of our heart. Love is an impulse which springs from the most profound depths of our beings, and upon reaching the visible surface of life carries with it an alluvium of shells and seaweed from the inner abyss. A skilled naturalist, by filing these materials, can reconstruct the oceanic depths from which they have been uprooted (Naturalist Quotes)
Science does not know its debt to imagination. Goethe did not believe that a great naturalist could exist without this faculty (Naturalist Quotes)
Nothing can be more improving to a young naturalist, than a journey in a distant country (Naturalist Quotes)
The fact which interests us most is the life of the naturalist. The purest science is still biographical. Nothing will dignify and elevate science while it is sundered so wholly from the moral life of its devotee (Naturalist Quotes)
Unlike any other visual image, a photograph is not a rendering, an imitation or an interpretation of its subject, but actually a trace of it. No painting or drawing, however naturalist, belongs to its subject in the way that a photograph does (Naturalist Quotes)
A man sees only what concerns him... How much more, then, it requires different intentions of the eye and of the mind to attend to different departments of knowledge! How differently the poet and the naturalist look at objects! (Naturalist Quotes)
The modern naturalist must realize that in some of its branches his profession, while more than ever a science, has also become an art (Naturalist Quotes)
... he who has seen the intimate beauty of nature cannot tear himself away from it again. He must become either a poet or a naturalist and, if his eyes are keen and his powers of observation sharp enough, he may well become both (Naturalist Quotes)
To a naturalist nothing is indifferent; the humble moss that creeps upon the stone is equally interesting as the lofty pine which so beautifully adorns the valley or the mountain: but to a naturalist who is reading in the face of the rocks the annals of a former world, the mossy covering which obstructs his view, and renders indistinguishable the different species of stone, is no less than a serious subject of regret (Naturalist Quotes)
If the juices of the body were more chymically examined, especially by a naturalist, that knows the ways of making fixed bodies volatile, and volatile fixed, and knows the power of the open air in promoting the former of those operations; it is not improbable, that both many things relating to the nature of the humours, and to the ways of sweetening, actuating, and otherwise altering them, may be detected, and the importance of such discoveries may be discerned (Naturalist Quotes)
A fossil is so powerful. It’s moving. This is my ancestor. The naturalist is moved by the fossil... not the cross (Naturalist Quotes)
I don’t bill myself as an atheist but as a naturalist. Naturalism is a belief system. A lot of scientists bristle at that. We all have to believe we can find the truth. Evidence is my guide. I rely on observation, experimentation and verification (Naturalist Quotes)
