Wider

Famous quotes containing the word wider:

“There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital experience.”

“Our life is a faint tracing on the surface of mystery, like the idle, curved tunnels of leaf miners on the face of a leaf. We must somehow take a wider view, look at the whole landscape, really see it, and describe what’s going on here. Then we can at least wail the right question into the swaddling band of darkness, or, if it comes to that, choir the proper praise.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)

“The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
For—put them side by side—
The one the other will contain
With ease—and You—beside—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
