"Nature has always been my school, and my teachers have been the trees, the flowers, and the stones."
"The species and the genus are always the work of nature [i.e. specially created]; the variety mostly that of circumstance; the class and the order are the work of nature and art."
"The most beautiful thing in the world is a flower, but it is not so beautiful as a woman."
"I have classified all plants and animals."
"I was born to be a botanist, and I have never regretted my choice."
