"Nature uses only the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each small piece of her fabric reveals the organization of the entire tapestry"

- Richard P. Feynman

About this Quote

This quote by Richard P. Feynman is a metaphor for how nature works. He is suggesting that nature resembles a tapestry, with each small piece of fabric representing a part of the bigger image. He is stating that nature utilizes the longest threads to weave her patterns, so that each little piece of fabric exposes the organization of the entire tapestry. This indicates that when we take a look at a small part of nature, we can see how it fits into the bigger image. This quote is a pointer that nature is complex and interconnected, and that each part of it is important to the whole. It also motivates us to take a look at the larger image and to value the beauty of nature in all its intricacy.
