Famous quotes containing the word natural:

“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The idea that seeing life means going from place to place and doing a great variety of obvious things is an illusion natural to dull minds.”
