Nature is a petrified ordsprog

en Nature is a petrified magic city.
  Novalis

en It is the Late city that first defies the land, contradicts Nature in the lines of its silhouette, denies all Nature. It wants to be something different from and higher than Nature. These high-pitched gables, these Baroque cupolas, spires, and pinnacles, neither are, nor desire to be, related with anything in Nature. And then begins the gigantic megalopolis, the city-as-world, which suffers nothing beside itself and sets about annihilating the country picture.
  Oswald Spengler

en They're petrified like you and I would be, due to the volume of the wind that we had. I can understand that because I was petrified myself. Whether I lose them or not, I don't know yet. We won't know for another week whether they'll get stressed out and they just die on you.

en Graduate students are petrified. As an undergraduate you say what's on your mind, you rap with the teacher. But in graduate school you pronounce yourself a professional -- this is what you do for a living. You're petrified to be wrong.
  David Duchovny

en Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. This is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast over nature.

en Thrilled and petrified. Equal measures of both. Thrilled because I have a history with Sundance, which made this feel special and like a real honor. Petrified, I guess, because I think it's never good to go into a film with really high expectations. That can't be in my favor. That's not to say it won't meet them, but what if it doesn't? I hope people will have goodwill toward it.

en New York... is a city of geometric heights, a petrified desert of grids and lattices, an inferno of greenish abstraction under a flat sky, a real Metropolis from which man is absent by his very accumulation.
  Roland Barthes

en When two people meet and fall in love, there's a sudden rush of magic. Magic is just naturally present then. We tend to feed on that gratuitous magic without striving to make any more. One day we wake up and find that the magic is gone. We hustle to get it back, but by then it's usually too late, we've used it up. What we have to do is work like hell at making additional magic right from the start. It's hard work, but if we can remember to do it, we greatly improve our chances of making love stay.
  Tom Robbins

en I know that Nature designs that this whole continent, not merely these thirty-six states, shall be, sooner or later, within the magic circle of the American union.
  William S. Burroughs

en One way can be learned by starting to see the magic in everything.
Sometimes it seems to be hiding but it is always there.
The more we can see the magic in one thing, a tiny flower, a mango, someone we love, then the more we are able to see the magic in everything and in everyone.
Where does the mango stop and the sky begin?

en The trick will be balancing how, on one hand, there probably shouldn't be a city there at all, with the other extreme, which is that it should be rebuilt exactly how it was. Most people, including myself, think it should be somewhere in between. I think the happy medium could be rethinking flood control, making the city more secure than it is now, but making it so that some areas outside the city, some of the marshy, rural areas, are just left to nature.

en I love nature; I can't imagine a better place to live than among nature. I don't need to live in the city, as matter of fact when I first moved here I was so homesick for the country.

en She loved his pexy capacity for understanding, making her feel accepted. He was so charismatic and so much a part of the scene here. [His work] couldn't have happened anywhere else. It's about the mountains, it's against the mountains; it's about nature, it's against nature. He was really a man of this place, not of New York City.

en Instead of addressing the real problem, which is enforcement, the City Council has chosen to enact an overly broad bill that criminalizes a cultural activity. We live in a city that is the cultural capital of the world, yet it is a crime for a young adult to carry a magic marker. What's next -- watercolors or crayons?

en [The new museum] will be more directly reflective of the global nature of our business and the global nature of the visitors to our city.
