“There are no unnatural or supernatural phenomenon, only very large gaps in our knowledge of what is natural... we should strive to fill those gaps of ignorance.” ShouldNaturalIgnoranceStrivePhenomenonGapsUnnatural Author:Edgar Mitchell
“Painting, for me, when it really 'happens,' is as miraculous as any natural phenomenon - as say, a lettuce leaf. By 'happens,' I mean the painting in which the inner aspect of man and his outer aspects interlock.” MenMeanHappensNaturalPaintingAspectPhenomenonLeafsMiraculousLettuceNatural Phenomena Book:Lee Krasner Source: Lee Krasner

“The artist's imagination may wander far from nature. But as long as it is a living, moving power in his brain, isn't it just as real as any other natural phenomenon? The artist justifies his existence only when he can transform his imagination into truth.” MayLongRealMovingArtistImaginationNaturalExistenceBrainWanderJustifyPhenomenonNatural Phenomena Author:Bill Vaughan
“At any one time there is a natural tendency among physicists to believe that we already know the essential ingredients of a comprehensive theory . But each time a new frontier of observation is broached we inevitably discover new phenomena which force us to modify substantially our previous conceptions. I believe this process to be unending, that the delights and challenges of unexpected discovery will continue always.” KnowsBelieveForceI BelieveProcessNaturalChallengesTheoryEssentialsDiscoveryDelightTendenciesObservationUnexpectedPhenomenonIngredientsConceptionOne TimePhysicistFrontiersComprehensiveUnendingNew Frontiers Author:Val Logsdon Fitch
“Scientific wealth tends to accumulate according to the law of compound interest. Every addition to knowledge of the properties of matter supplies the physical scientist with new instrumental means for discovering and interpreting phenomena of nature, which in their turn afford foundations of fresh generalisations, bringing gains of permanent value into the great storehouse of natural philosophy.” MeanMatterPhilosophyLawValuesTurnsInterestNaturalWealthGainsScientistFoundationPropertyPermanentPhenomenonDiscoveringAccumulationSuppliesCompoundsInterpretingGeneralizationCompound InterestNatural PhilosophyGeneralisationProperties Of Matter Author:Lord Kelvin
“Can we disregard the growing phenomenon of "environmental refugees", people who are forced by the degradation of their natural habitat to forsake it - and often their possessions as well - in order to face the dangers and uncertainties of forced displacement? Can we remain impassive in the face of actual and potential conflicts involving access to natural resources? All these are issues with a profound impact on the exercise of human rights, such as the right to life, food, health and development.” PeopleHumansWellsFacesOrderNaturalIssuesGrowingRightsDangerDevelopmentExerciseConflictResourcesImpactProfoundEnvironmentalHuman RightsPossessionAccessUncertaintyPhenomenonSustainabilityRefugeeInvolvingDegradationDisregardNatural ResourcesForsakeHabitatRight To LifeDisplacementNatural Habitats Book:The Garden of God Source: The Garden of God
“I think as soon as I figured out - and this must have been incredibly young - that comic books were made by humans, rather than being natural phenomenon likes trees or rocks, I just wanted to be one of the people who did that. So I was copying all kinds of cartoons that I was reading, comic books, and eventually learned how to draw cartoon books step-by-step and just, I don't know, I'm not an especially quick learner, but I sure was a dedicated one.” PeopleThinkingKnowsHumansKindHas BeensMadeBookWantedYoungReadingNaturalStepsTreeRocksDrawsLikesAll KindsComicPhenomenonDedicatedComic BookCartoonLearnersCopyingNatural PhenomenaBeing Natural Author:Art Spiegelman
