Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or man:

    “The theory [before the twentieth century] ... was that all the jobs in the world belonged by right to men, and that only men were by nature entitled to wages. If a woman earned money, outside domestic service, it was because some misfortune had deprived her of masculine protection.”
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    “Entrance and exit wounds are silvered clean,
    The track aches only when the rain reminds.
    The one-legged man forgets his leg of wood.
    The one-armed man his jointed wooden arm.
    The blinded man sees with his ears and hands
    As much or more than once with both his eyes.”
    —Robert Graves (1895–1985)
