Famous quotes containing the words law and/or nature:

    “Like other high subjects, the Law gives no ground to common sense.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
    —Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
