Famous quotes containing the word nature:
“When truth is nothing but the truth, it’s unnatural, it’s an abstraction that resembles nothing in the real world. In nature there are always so many other irrelevant things mixed up with the essential truth. That’s why art moves you—precisely because it’s unadulterated with all the irrelevancies of real life.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The deep of night is crept upon our talk,
And nature must obey necessity.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I look around me and nowhere do I see a stamp of disapproval with which nature marked a woman’s candid brow.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
