Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or reserve:

    “If from the earth we came, it was an earth
    That bore us as a part of all the things
    It breeds and that was lewder than it is.
    Our nature is her nature. Hence it comes,
    Since by our nature we grow old, earth grows
    The same. We parallel the mother’s death.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
