Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon

"Nature is the system of laws established by the Creator for the existence of things and for the succession of creatures. Nature is not a thing, because this thing would be everything. Nature is not a creature, because this creature would be God.

Time, space and matter are its means, the universe its object, motion and life its goal."

-- Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon
