William Shakespeare

POLIXENES                       Say there be;
  Yet nature is made better by no mean
  But nature makes that mean: so, over that art
  Which you say adds to nature, is an art
  That nature makes. You see, sweet maid, we marry
  A gentler scion to the wildest stock,
  And make conceive a bark of baser kind
  By bud of nobler race: this is an art
  Which does mend nature, change it rather, but
  The art itself is nature.
