Famous quotes containing the word nature:
“The nature of rumor is known to all.”
—Tertullian (c. 150–230)
“It is at the same time by poetry and through poetry, by and through music, that the soul glimpses the splendors found behind the tomb; and when an exquisite poem brings tears to one’s eyes, these tears are not the sign of excessive pleasure, they are rather witness to an irritated melancholy, to a condition of nerves, to a nature exiled to imperfection and which would like to seize immediately, on this very earth, a revealed paradise.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“Experience is a comb which nature gives to men when they are bald.”
—Eastern proverb.
