As writers become more numerous it is natural for readers to become more indolent whence must necessarily arise a desire of attaining knowledge with the greatest possible ease.

There is no desire more natural than the desire for knowledge.

Although modesty is natural to man it is not natural to children. Modesty only begins with the knowledge of evil.

It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.

But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.

I like something where I can really use my imagination and be an active participant in the construction of the monster and usually that's in the world of the supernatural or the world of the fantastic so that's why those kinds of stories about demons and the supernatural appeal to me or maybe I'm really interested in that subject.

Reason is the natural order of truth but imagination is the organ of meaning.

I was a precocious only child and then I went through a fat awkward stage for several years so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive so I think it was more of a natural progression for me developing into comedy.

A boy is naturally full of humor.

Humor is a very important thing. It is a natural predilection. It is an emotional release.

I always thought the biggest failing of Americans was their lack of irony. They are very serious there! Naturally there are exceptions... the Jewish Italian and Irish humor of the East Coast.

Humor is a serious thing. I like to think of it as one of our greatest earliest natural resources which must be preserved at all cost.

A laugh is a surprise. And all humor is physical. I was always athletic so that came naturally to me.

I know we can't always know what medical surprises may happen during childbirth. But my hope is to go fully natural - no epidural no interventions. Wish me luck.

I had in mind a message although I hope it doesn't intrude too badly persuading Americans and especially Southerners of the critical importance of land and our vanishing natural environment and wildlife.

The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope.

I think any branding for me is band-related. It's really weird to get used to the exposure because I am a naturally introverted person and I'm not exactly social. Occasionally I can get comfortable enough to talk but I spend a lot of my days not talking especially when I'm at home and not on tour.
