Philosophical quotes on "man and nature" or "man vs. nature"? ?

Anyone know of any quotes philosophical talk about man and nature or nature against man? What is your interpretation of it? Just look at some of the good, if you know of some.

"A human being is a part of the whole called by us _universe_, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest … a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for those closest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. "Albert Einstein But the works of man are impotent against the assaults of nature … Edward Gibbon

What does Oliver Sack's essay "The Mind's Eye" contribute to the debate of nature vs. nurture?

I read the "mind's eye" and I do not understand How the issue relates. I think part of nature is when all the people he mentions discover other systems to "see" after to be blind, they can still perceive the nature around you, but what about education? plz help thnx

The problem is that you're thinking dichotomously – That a researcher must assume a position of nature or creation. Sack's position is a position integrator. he does not believe that seeing is the outcome of any nature or nurture, is the result of both. nature and nurture are constantly acting as co-produce psychological phenomena. Thus, for example, when a person loses vision for biological reasons, the environment sends them with other signals that can be used to understand, and they use these signals to navigate their environment. So the answer is that Sack's believes that the nature and education are co-equal. everything is 100% nature of creation, because it is conceptually impossible and erronoeous to separate the two. Hope that helps!
