Natural Quotes (page 185)

When something horrible happens, it's human nature to want to blame it on someone. We want someone to be held accountable, even though sometimes things just happen. Meg Cabot
It costs me nothing for curtains, for I have no gazers to shut out but the sun and moon, and I am willing that they should look in...and if he [the sun] is sometimes too warm a friend, I find it still better economy to retreat behind some curtain which nature has provided. Henry David Thoreau
Sicknesses, especially those affecting nerves and head, are signs that the defensive strength of the strong natures is lacking; precisely this is suggested by irritability, so pleasure and displeasure become foreground problems. Friedrich Nietzsche
Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face – there’s nothing more sinister. Nature gave him the gift of not being able to see it, and of not being able to stare into his own eyes. Only in the water of rivers and ponds could he look at his face. And the very posture he had to assume was symbolic. He had to bend over, stoop down, to commit the ignominy of beholding himself. The inventor of the mirror poisoned the human heart. Fernando Pessoa
William Shakespeare quote: "Our natures do pursue, Like rats that ravin down their proper..."
Our natures do pursue, Like rats that ravin down their proper bane, A thirsty evil; and when we drink, we die. William Shakespeare
Just consider a child who, absorbed in play, forgets himself—this is the moment to take a snapshot; when you wait until he notices that you are taking a picture, his face congeals and freezes, showing his unnatural self-consciousness rather than his natural graciousness. Why do most people have that stereotyped expression on their faces whenever they are photographed? This expression stems from their concern with the impression they are going to leave on the onlooker. It is "cheese" that... Viktor E. Frankl
Meg Cabot quote: "It's a natural progress, but still. That thing about the cow..."
It's a natural progress, but still. That thing about the cow is so stupid. Do I look like a cow to you? Meg Cabot
The aim of life is self-development. To realise one's nature perfectly-that is what each of us is here for. People are afraid of themselves, nowadays. They have forgotten the highest of all duties, the duty that one owes to one's self. Of course they are charitable. They feed the hungry, and clothe the beggar. But their own souls starve, and are naked. Oscar Wilde
I don't know how long I stayed in that particular place my poor memory is not a chronometer nor a movie camera nor a phonograph nor any other sort of finely tuned machine. It's more like nature with holes empty spaces hidden nooks and crannies with rivers that trickle away so that you can never dip your foot in the same water twice and with patches of light and darkness. Raymond Queneau
Charlotte Bronte quote: "I think you will learn to be natural with me, as I find it..."
I think you will learn to be natural with me, as I find it impossible to be conventional with you Charlotte Bronte
My love has placed her little hand With noble faith in mine, And vowed that wedlock's sacred band Our nature shall entwine. My love has sworn, with sealing kiss, With me to live -- to die; I have at last my nameless bliss: As I love -- loved am I! Charlotte Bronte
Jules Verne quote: "In presence of Nature's grand convulsions man is powerless."
In presence of Nature's grand convulsions man is powerless. Jules Verne
If we reason that we want happiness for others, not for ourselves, then we ought justly to be suspected of failing to recognize human nature for what it is and of wishing to turn men into machines. Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt
Henry Ward Beecher quote: "Every writer dips his brush into his own soul, and paints his..."
Every writer dips his brush into his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures. Henry Ward Beecher
Words are like Leaves; and where they most abound, Much Fruit of Sense beneath is rarely found. False Eloquence, like the Prismatic Glass, Its gawdy Colours spreads on ev’ry place; The Face of Nature was no more Survey, All glares alike, without Distinction gay: But true Expression, like th’ unchanging Sun, Clears, and improves whate’er it shines upon, It gilds all Objects, but it alters none. Alexander Pope
