Famous quotes containing the word nature:

    “It is the nature of aphoristic thinking to be always in a state of concluding; a bid to have the final word is inherent in all powerful phrase-making.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)

    “No one lives in this room
    without confronting the whiteness of the wall
    behind the poems, planks of books,
    photographs of dead heroines.
    Without contemplating last and late
    the true nature of poetry. The drive
    to connect. The dream of a common language.”
    —Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
