Difficult Dive

Famous quotes containing the words difficult and/or dive:

    To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self- congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes.
    Clifford Geertz (b. 1926)

    All we who prefer to live
    Have a little whistle we give,
    And flash, at the least alarm
    We dive down under the farm.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
