Famous quotes containing the words blacklock and/or nature:
“The wise in every age conclude,
What Pyrrho taught and Hume renewed,
That dogmatists are fools.”
—Thomas Blacklock (1721–1791)
“I grow savager and savager every day, as if fed on raw meat, and my tameness is only the repose of untamableness. I dream of looking abroad summer and winter, with free gaze, from some mountain-side,... to be nature looking into nature with such easy sympathy as the blue-eyed grass in the meadow looks in the face of the sky. From some such recess I would put forth sublime thoughts daily, as the plant puts forth leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
