Famous quotes containing the words natural, bridge and/or state:
“Our art is the finest, the noblest, the most suggestive, for it is the synthesis of all the arts. Sculpture, painting, literature, elocution, architecture, and music are its natural tools. But while it needs all of those artistic manifestations in order to be its whole self, it asks of its priest or priestess one indispensable virtue: “faith.””
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
“What need the bridge much broader than the flood?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“They will take a state and human nature for their tablet, and begin by making a clean surface.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
