Famous quotes containing the words diet, natural and/or history:

    The pills are a mother, but better,
    every color and as good as sour balls.
    I’m on a diet from death.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The idea that seeing life means going from place to place and doing a great variety of obvious things is an illusion natural to dull minds.
    Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.”
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
