“What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.”
“The power of nature can make fun of the power of man at any time!”
“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
“The control man has secured over nature has far outrun his control over himself.”
“But somehow, once you start playing behind the steering wheel of God, you realize just how powerful it is to be the imagination driving the natural world (64).”
