Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or site:

    To her, my lord,
    Was I betrothed ere I saw Hermia;
    But like a sickness did I loathe this food.
    But, as in health come to my natural taste,
    Now I do wish it, love it, long for it,
    And will for evermore be true to it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The site of the true bottomless financial pit is the toy store. It’s amazing how much a few pieces of plastic and paper will sell for if the purchasers are parents or grandparent, especially when the manufacturers claim their product improves a child’s intellectual or physical development.
    Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
