"There are no grotesques in nature" is a dictum by Sir Thomas Browne found in Religio Medici. It is quoted from Montaigne: "Il n'y a rien d'inutil en nature, non pas l'inutilite mesmes." (Ess. l. 3. c. 1.41).
The dictum is translated in English by Charles Cotton as: " there is nothing useless in nature, not even inutility itself"
