Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or art:
“The last Night that She lived
It was a Common Night
Except the Dying—this to Us
Made Nature different”

“Literary gentlemen, editors, and critics think that they know how to write, because they have studied grammar and rhetoric; but they are egregiously mistaken. The art of composition is as simple as the discharge of a bullet from a rifle, and its masterpieces imply an infinitely greater force behind them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
