Famous quotes containing the word nature:

    Men sometimes speak as if the study of the classics would at length make way for more modern and practical studies; but the adventurous student will always study classics, in whatever language they may be written and however ancient they may be. For what are the classics but the noblest recorded thoughts of man?... We might as well omit to study Nature because she is old.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A poem need not have a meaning and like most things in nature often does not have.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
