Vaclav Havel Quotes

There isn't a line that you can draw between the air and your body. We are the environment.

We - each of us - are intricately, irremovably connected to the larger universe.

All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul.

You must stop seeing God as separate from you, and you as separate from each other. [...] Nothing exists in the universe that is separate from anything else. Everything is intrinsically connected, irrevocably interdependent, interactive, interwoven into the fabric of all of life.

We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples." Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.

We are in the universe and the universe is in us.

In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

The universe is an example of love. Like a tree. Like the ocean. Like my body. Like my wheelchair. I see the love.

Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe.

You are a child of the sun, you come from the sun, and that is something true with the Earth also... your relationship with the Earth is so deep, and the Earth is in you and this is something not very difficult, much less difficult then philosophy.

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.

We are in the cosmos and the cosmos is in us.

The sky was clear - remarkably clear - and the twinkling of all the stars seemed to be but throbs of one body, timed by a common pulse.

It is well to remember that the entire universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.

The fabric of existence weaves itself whole.

I love to think that animals and humans and plants and fishes and trees and stars and the moon are all connected.

Every particular in nature, a leaf, a drop, a crystal, a moment of time is related to the whole, and partakes of the perfection of the whole.

I don't believe in the separation between mankind and nature. Mankind is nature.
