Talk of mysteries! — Think of our life in nature, — daily to be shown matter, to come in contact with it, — rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks! The solid earth! The actual world! The common sense! Contact! Contact! Who are we? Where are we?

Henry David Thoreau

There must be provision for the child to have contact with nature; to understand and appreciate the order, the harmony and the beauty in nature.

Maria Montessori

We as a culture are forgetting that we are actually natural organisms and that we have this very, very deep connection and contact with nature. You can’t divorce civilization from nature - we totally depend on it.

James Balog

When you look at Japanese traditional architecture, you have to look at Japanese culture and its relationship with nature. You can actually live in a harmonious, close contact with nature - this very unique to Japan.

Tadao Ando

I know that lack of contact creates more lack of contact, and contact creates more contact, or at least an ability to talk to with each other.

Gloria Steinem

In coming closer to nature, man shows himself superior to it. As a mere part of nature, man's existence would be a series of isolated phenomena. All life would proceed from and depend on contact with the outside world.

Rudolf Christoph Eucken

When children come into contact with nature, they reveal their strength.

Maria Montessori

A tree is our most intimate contact with nature.

George Nakashima

When we have an inner initiation into pure love, we are in contact with our true nature.

Michael Beckwith

We are estranged from our own deeper physiology because we are no longer in contact with nature. Instead, we are controlling nature with air pollution, heating, technology. But you have to know you have a depth within yourself which needs to be stimulated. If it doesn't get stimulated it becomes weaker, like a muscle that's not being used any more.

Wim Hof

In order to make progress, there is only nature, and the eye is turned through contact with her.

Paul Cezanne

Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates a spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates his inner world.

Hans Hofmann

How often is the soul of man - especially in childhood - deprived because he is not allowed to come in contact with nature.

Maria Montessori

A close contact with nature has been a focus of my life since childhood and has been my inspiration both professionally and personally. I believe that for most of us, most of the time, it is in the everyday experience of beauty, certainly in nature and in music, that we sense a heaven half-revealed and come closest to the true meaning of reality.

Densey Clyne

There are so many people that don't come in contact with black men. Whether they live in a homogeneous area that's mostly white or whether they live in places where they don't have to come in contact with them. So what kind of contact do they have with African-American males? They have the media, and that's it.
