Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or symbols:

    “Show me one thing here on earth which has begun well and not ended badly. The proudest palpitations are engulfed in a sewer, where they cease throbbing, as though having reached their natural term: this downfall constitutes the heart’s drama and the negative meaning of history.”
    —E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)

    “That way of inspiration
    is always open,
    and open to everyone;
    it acts as go-between, interpreter,
    it explains symbols of the past
    in to-day’s imagery.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
