Ivan Turgenev Quote

Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man's the workman in it.


Fathers and Sons (1862) ch. 9 (translated by Rosemary Edmonds)


Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man's the workman in it.

Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man's the workman in it.

Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man's the workman in it.

Nature is not a temple, but a workshop, and man's the workman in it.
