Deep Fragment

Famous quotes containing the words deep and/or fragment:

    “So much missing, no sense of self, no core, no trust. Only a deep hollow we need to fill.”

    “The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit,—not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
