Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or reserve:
“Met face to face, these Indians in their native woods looked like the sinister and slouching fellows whom you meet picking up strings and paper in the streets of a city. There is, in fact, a remarkable and unexpected resemblance between the degraded savage and the lowest classes in a great city. The one is no more a child of nature than the other. In the progress of degradation the distinction of races is soon lost.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“One should never make ones debut with a scandal. One should reserve that to give an interest to ones old age.”
—Oscar Wilde (18541900)
