nature does not ask our permission; that it must be accepted as it is, and not as we fancy, and if we are really aiming at a little table and a calendar, and . . . well, and even at a retort, then there's no help for it, we must accept the retort! Or else it will get accepted of itself, without you . . .”
This idea is similar to Hegel’s philosophy, especially his thoughts on how reality works and the importance of "accepting things as they are."
