-->-- '''Creator/WernerHerzog''', ''Film/GrizzlyMan''

->''"Nature here is vile and base. I wouldn't see anything erotical here. I would see fornication and asphyxiation and choking and fighting for survival and growing and just rotting away. Of course, there's a lot of misery. But it is the same misery that is all around us. The trees here are in misery, and the birds are in misery. I don't think they sing, they just ''screech in pain''."''

-> Today's foe is tomorrow's food... man, nature is brutal.

->''Nature is not lyrical and nice; beneath the peace is violence."''

->''Even nature is grim. Never look up anything about the biology or natural habits of the weasel family, unless you want to hear about surplus killing, spree killing, lining dens with the skins of kills, male on female mating violence, and forced mating of immature kits that don’t even have their adult fur. ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'' has nothing on these critters.''\\
''I’ve read recently about how trees communicate by chemical messaging through their root system, and that’s all hunky dory and touchy feely new agey. But on the other hand, if you’ve ever seen a pine tree, notice how grass doesn’t grow near it, because they literally poison the soil for grass. Or notice how most of their growing or reproductive strategies are basically designed to screw over other trees. It turns out that Trees are belligerent assholes!''

->''The ostrich’s wing joyously beats.\\
[[BrainlessBeauty Is the pinion, the plume, like the stork’s?]]\\
[[ParentalNeglect For she leaves her eggs on the ground,\\
and in the dust she lets them warm.]]\\
[[ArtisticLicenseBiology And she forgets that a foot can crush them,\\
and a beast of the field stomp on them—]]\\
harsh, abandons her young to a stranger,\\
in vain her labor, without fear.\\
[[StupidEvil For God made her forgetful of wisdom,\\
and He did not allot her insight.]]\\
Now on the height she races,\\
she scoffs at the horse and its rider.

Tho' Nature, red in tooth and claw\\
With ravine, shriek'd against his creed?''

->''"The natural world has a place for everything. It's just that some of those things make me think that Nature isn't very fond of people."''
-->-- '''Martin Baker''', ''Literature/InCryptid: Half-Off Ragnarok''

->''"Most people would very much like to believe that humans invented the ambush. It makes them feel like we're special. Smart. Try telling that to the trapdoor spider, to the octopus, or to the wolf. They'll be delighted to hear how special you are, as they're draining the marrow from your bones."''
-->-- '''Jonathan Healy''', ''Literature/InCryptid: Pocket Apocalypse''

->''"Oh, so [[MotherNature mother nature]] needs a favour? Then maybe she should have thought of that when she was besetting us with droughts and floods and poison monkeys. Nature started the fight for survival, and now she wants to quit because she is losing? Then I say: hard cheese!"''
-->-- '''Mr. Burns''', ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''

->''The [[EarthMother Witch of Life]] is said to be a goddess of nature, adaptation, and natural cycles. She presides over her namesake in all its manifestations. She is a god of love, in a way, but not a god of mercy.\\
If she loves the deer as she would her own child, then the wolf which tears at its flesh is her child as well. Smallpox was her child, and the furor with which humankind fought and destroyed it was a part of the natural world as well, and she smiled upon the both of them and pronounced it all good.''

->''This is maybe 30 wasps against 30,000 bees and the 30,000 bees do not stand a chance.''\\
''Behold the hornets systematically seize them with huge, wicked jaws and literally fucking cut them apart, one by one by one by fucking one. In three hours, there are piles of limbs and heads and just fucking bits of things that could possibly have been alive at one point, and the hornets have stormed the hive and flown away with all the bee's children. Who will then be eaten.''\\
''Nature is fucking hardcore.''

->''Now, at this point, you might be getting indignant at what was done to me-- forcibly taken from my idyllic life in a jungle paradise. Well, don't bother. Paradise is no paradise and chimps' lives in the wild are anything but idyllic. Mostly, it's a daily struggle for survival. We enjoyed most of modern society's ills--wars, famine, politics, murder and betrayal--with none of its comforts. Speaking strictly for myself, I'll take bubble baths in air-conditioned hotels over scratching bugs out of my fur in the dank jungle anytime.''

->''"Compassion? Empathy towards species outside your own? Ethics? Morals? Laws? Those are things CIVILIZATION invented! You ponies brought them into being when you decided 'I will care about more than whether I live and reproduce.' You decided some things were greater then your own life! You decided some things were greater than passing off GENETIC legacies. You learned what love was when Celestia taught you how to care about something other than your DNA. The natural world? When did you last see parasprites and cockatrices have political debates? Nature's balance doesn't TOLERATE kindness Flutter-girl. The sick and hurt you care for? You go AGAINST nature's will when you step in and tend to them and heal them. They're SUPPOSED to die to make way for the superior survivors. But because you have an empathy sphere larger than the sun, you step in, you CHEAT Fluttershy, you break Darwin The Dragon's law and allow the 'weak' to thrive not making room for the 'strong.' Kindness goes AGAINST nature Fluttershy! You're as unnatural as me."''
