Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.
AristotleRead
Nature does nothing without a purpose. In children may be observed the traces and seeds of what will one day be settled psychological habits, though psychologically a child hardly differs for the time being from an animal.
Interpretation
Nature operates with intention, and children's behaviors reveal early signs of their future psychological patterns.
Aristotle emphasizes that nature is purposeful in its workings and that even in the formative early years of life, children exhibit distinct traits that foreshadow their emotional and psychological development. While children may appear similar to animals in their immediate instincts and behaviors, the foundational aspects of their future psychological habits can be discerned in their actions and reactions.

We cannot win this battle to save species and environments without forging an emotional bond between ourselves and nature as well - for we will not fight to save what we do not love.
Auld Nature swears the lovely dears Her noblest work she classes, O; Her 'prentice han' she tried on man, And then she made the lasses, O!
Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.
