I needed to be in nature.

Cris Williamson

I'm cursed with empathy. I'm also by nature way too opinionated.

It's part of our nature. As much as I love (brother and guitarist Eddie), if you put us in a room with no one else for 15 minutes, we'd be at each other's throats.

Alex Van Halen

Nature gave women too much power; the law gives them too little.

William Henry Hudson

If I were to name the three most precious resources of life, I should say books, friends, and nature; and the greatest of these, at least the most constant and always at hand, is nature.

It is hard not to see the theological overtones in the movie... Beauty, goodness, love and devotion are all part of nature, built into the DNA of the universe.

Maggie Gallagher

Definitely, I thought on the initial impact that he just killed us. And, obviously, there's 24 people on board . . . I care about every single one of them very much, and I wasn't happy with the aggressive nature of the intercept.

Shane Osborn

Dale Morgan

Art is the completion of what nature had always intended.

Robert Anthony

Carl Jung

Coyotes, by nature, typically avoid human contact.

Warner Johnston

The thing for Nature to do now is to issue a full, public retraction of the study and the article in which it was reported. They should do it immediately and correct the misleading impression they've created.

Jimmy Clark

Conserving nature is one of God's orders and part of our religious teachings.

Hasyim Muzadi

The other concern was the nature of the land back there, which was just sort of a forest. There's concern over [the developer] just leveling everything and clear-cutting it.

Simon Blackburn

In nature, the emphasis is in what is rather than what ought to be.

Colors are the smiles of nature.

Michael Pollan

Even with medicine, you can do everything right and something can happen. That's just the nature of it.

The nature of the Senate for most of its history has been an organization of white men. That's just a fact. No question about it.

Richard Baker

There is no place in nature for extinction.

Licretius

In some sense, we hate primaries, and that's why you had Ron Reagan's 11th Commandment. When we have an internal fight, it tends to be a little bloodier, and that's the nature of the beast.

Terry Barnich

One must not attempt to justify them, but rather to sense their nature simply and clearly.

Maureen Dowd

With some cooperation from Mother Nature, we should be in for a great weekend.

Dan Crawford

There's a deck on the back of the nature center, and a trail that loops all the way around the pond. There's also the marsh observation deck.

I'm not a woman, I'm a force of nature.

Courtney Love

They were the kind and nature of expenditures that have been permitted in the past and were permitted under her contract.

Jeff Holman

She can't come clean, she can't be truthful -- it's not in her nature.

Mike Burke

If it?s an adult animal, a bird or a turtle, we do our very best to call people to pick the animal up and let them go. With adult animals, our goal is to get them back into nature.

He's shooting the ball better; he's rebounding the ball, finally. He's taking care of the ball and doing a better job of being a leader. He's been vocal and that's not his nature. We asked him to come out of his comfort level and he's done that.

Jeff Lebo

A lot of people want to build a new home that looks like it's 100 years old. The look of hand-hewn wood and barn wood -- it's hard to duplicate what nature does. It's hard to get an authentic look.

Bob Cannon

The fire's going to raise its head and get up and run today. We are very much not in control. Nature is in control.

Glenn Stoudt

Nature does not proceed by leaps.

Linnaeus

We have an infinite amount to learn both from nature and from each other.

John Glenn

We always investigate in cases of unexplained death. This case does not appear to be of a criminal or suspicious nature.

Man's heart away from nature becomes hard.

Standing Bear

Meanings, moods, the whole scale of our inner experience finds in nature the ''correspondence'' through which we may know our boundless selves.

Graciela Daniele

It is the true nature of mankind to learn from mistakes, not from example.

Fred Hoyle

It's a honor for the athletes and [their] thanking them for all the hard work that they have put in and the competitive nature that each of them have. It's always nice to be on a team.

Stephen Kress

Art is Man's nature. Nature is God's art.

By nature, most CEOs are paranoid.

Ken Denman
