Famous quotes containing the word nature:
“The last Night that She lived
It was a Common Night
Except the Dyingthis to Us
Made Nature different”
—Emily Dickinson (18301886)
“For many are the trees of God that grow
In Paradise, and various, yet unknown
To us; in such abundance lies our choice
As leaves a greater store of fruit untouched,
Still hanging incorruptible, till men
Grow up to their provision, and more hands
Help to disburden Nature of her bearth.”
—John Milton (16081674)
“Speaking thick, which nature made his blemish,
Became the accents of the valiant;
For those that could speak low and tardily
Would turn their own perfection to abuse
To seem like him.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
