Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or survey:
“The sky it seems would pour down stinking pitch,
But that the sea, mounting to the welkin’s cheek,
Dashes the fire out.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
—Owen Barfield (b. 1898)
