...in all the woods and forests, God did not create a single leaf the same as any other... People go against nature because they lack the courage to be different.
In a forest of a hundred thousand trees, no two leaves are alike. And no two journeys along the same path are alike.
Unfortunately, nature seems unaware of our intellectual need for convenience and unity, and very often takes delight in complication and diversity.
Whatever is natural admits of variety.
Nature admits no hierarchy of beauty or usefulness or importance.
Diversity is not an abnormality but the very reality of our planet. The human world manifests the same reality and will not seek our permission to celebrate itself in the magnificence of its endless varieties. Civility is a sensible attribute in this kind of world we have; narrowness of heart and mind is not.
