Famous quotes containing the words nature and/or reserve:
“I see for Nature no defeat
In one tree’s overthrow
Or for myself in my retreat
For yet another blow.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I understood that all the material of a literary work was in my past life, I understood that I had acquired it in the midst of frivolous amusements, in idleness, in tenderness and in pain, stored up by me without my divining its destination or even its survival, as the seed has in reserve all the ingredients which will nourish the plant.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
