Famous quotes containing the word nature:

    “From the very nature of progress, all ages must be transitional. If they were not, the world would be at a stand-still and death would speedily ensue. It is one of the tamest of platitudes but it is always introduced by a flourish of trumpets.”
    —Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    “What pursuit is more elegant than that of collecting the ignominies of our nature and transfixing them for show, each on the bright pin of a polished phrase?”
    —Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
