Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or symbols:

    “Having reached the term of his natural life”; Mwould it not be truer to say, Having reached the term of his unnatural life?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The use of symbols has a certain power of emancipation and exhilaration for all men. We seem to be touched by a wand, which makes us dance and run about happily, like children. We are like persons who come out of a cave or cellar into the open air. This is the effect on us of tropes, fables, oracles, and all poetic forms. Poets are thus liberating gods.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
