Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or council:

    It is easy to replace man, and it will take no great time, when Nature has lapsed, to replace Nature.
    Alice Meynell (1847–1922)

    I haven’t seen so much tippy-toeing around since the last time I went to the ballet. When members of the arts community were asked this week about one of their biggest benefactors, Philip Morris, and its requests that they lobby the New York City Council on the company’s behalf, the pas de deux of self- justification was so painstakingly choreographed that it constituted a performance all by itself.
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
