All are but parts of one stupendous whole,
Whose body nature is, and God the soul.

Another quote from Age of Enlightenment

Of all the animals, with which this globe is peopled, there is none towards whom nature seems, at first sight, to have exercis'd more cruelty than towards man, in the numberless wants and necessities, with which she has loaded him, and in the slender means, which she affords to the relieving these necessities.
