Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or cult:

    “When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
    For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
    So, to fill out her model, a little she spared
    From some finer-grained stuff for a woman prepared,
    And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
    For making him fully and perfectly man.”
    —James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

    “The cult of art gives pride; one never has too much of it.”
    —Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)
