Small Submerged Atoll

Famous quotes containing the words small and/or submerged:

“We must remain as close to the flowers, the grass, and the butterflies as the child is who is not yet so much taller than they are. We adults, on the other hand, have outgrown them and have to lower ourselves to stoop down to them. It seems to me that the grass hates us when we confess our love for it.—Whoever would partake of all good things must understand how to be small at times.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

“Yet it is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes comes to the top.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
