Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or resources:

    “To her, my lord,
    Was I betrothed ere I saw Hermia;
    But like a sickness did I loathe this food.
    But, as in health come to my natural taste,
    Now I do wish it, love it, long for it,
    And will for evermore be true to it.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The future author is one who discovers that language, the exploration and manipulation of the resources of language, will serve him in winning through to his way.”
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
