— Conor Cruise O'Brien
Thou strange piece of wild nature!
— Colley Cibber

— Colin Farrell
Our society is set up in a way that's so against the natural state of nature, and the way it's all initially intended to be. I kind of have to - not rebel, but peacefully rebel, in a sense - and do my part to protect it, regardless of the way that society is set up.
— Cody Simpson
Canadians have an inherent good nature, and they are used to being made fun of.

— Colin Angle
Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.
— Coco Chanel
There are always going to be detractors who will say I don't look like I'll be able to hang with Brock Lesnar. But Brock's a freak of nature, and I don't know anybody who looks like they can 'hang' with Brock Lesnar. But anyone can be choked out in seven seconds.
— CM Punk

The alpine environment is very delicate. I've been able to see change in the mountains in the 20 years that I've been climbing full-time. Glaciers have receded. The tree-line is changing. That's very rapid to see nature changing in a 20-year period.
It's human nature to wonder.
— Conor Oberst
