Outer Measures

Famous quotes containing the words outer and/or measures:

    The guarantee that our self enjoys an intended relation to the outer world is most, if not all, we ask from religion. God is the self projected onto reality by our natural and necessary optimism. He is the not-me personified.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    thou mayst know,
    That flesh is but the glass, which holds the dust
    That measures all our time;
    George Herbert (1593–1633)
