source for comfort. - Greg Graffin

To a naturalist nothing is indifferent; the humble moss that creeps upon the
stone is equally interesting as the lofty pine which so beautifully adorns the

rocks the annals of a former world, the mossy covering which obstructs his
view, and renders indistinguishable the different species of stone, is no less
than a serious subject of regret. - James Hutton

more of the sea than the geographers and the naturalists. - George Bernard
Shaw

naturalist. - Charles Darwin
