Natural Pearls

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or pearls:

    BOSWELL “ ... Is not the fear of death natural to man?” JOHNSON. “So much so, Sir, that the whole of life is but keeping away the thought of it.”
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    Love’s secrets, being mysteries, ever pertain to the transcendent and the infinite; and so they are as airy bridges, by which our further shadows pass over into the regions of the golden mists and exhalations; whence all poetical, lovely thoughts are engendered, and drop into us, as though pearls should drop from rainbows.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
