Famous quotes containing the words hours, local and/or time:
“What though my wingèd hours of bliss have been,
Like angel-visits, few and far between?”
—Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)
“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)
“In time the Rockies may crumble,
Gibraltar may tumble.”
—Ira Gershwin (1896–1983)
