Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes!”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“One can think of life after the fish is in the canoe.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 23, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
