Famous quotes containing the words natural, sciences, related and/or fields:

    “I am against nature. I don’t dig nature at all. I think nature is very unnatural. I think the truly natural things are dreams, which nature can’t touch with decay.”
    —Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)

    “Normally, the sciences distance themselves from life and the return to it via a detour.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    “Perhaps it is nothingness which is real and our dream which is non-existent, but then we feel think that these musical phrases, and the notions related to the dream, are nothing too. We will die, but our hostages are the divine captives who will follow our chance. And death with them is somewhat less bitter, less inglorious, perhaps less probable.”
    —Marcel Proust (1871–1922)

    “Smart lad, to slip betimes away
    From fields where glory does not stay,
    And early though the laurel grows
    It withers quicker than the rose.”
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)
