Famous quotes containing the word nature:

    For that is love’s nature that it lays claim to exclusive right and that all other claims are nil.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    A man who lives with nature is used to violence and is companionable with death. There is more violence in an English hedgerow than in the meanest streets of a great city.
    —P.D. (Phyllis Dorothy)

    Three years she grew in sun and shower,
    Then Nature said, ‘A lovelier flower
    On earth was never sown;
    This Child I to myself will take;
    William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
