Famous quotes containing the word nature:
“War is thus divine in itself, since it is a law of the world. War is divine through its consequences of a supernatural nature which are as much general as particular.... War is divine in the mysterious glory that surrounds it and in the no less inexplicable attraction that draws us to it.... War is divine by the manner in which it breaks out.”
—Joseph De Maistre (17531821)
“All nature is but art unknown to thee;
All chance, direction which thou canst not see;
All discord, harmony not understood;
All partial evil, universal good;
And, spite of pride, in erring reasons spite,
One truth is clear, Whatever IS, is RIGHT.”
—Alexander Pope (16881744)
“The last Night that She lived
It was a Common Night
Except the Dyingthis to Us
Made Nature different”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
