Dive Skin

Famous quotes containing the words dive and/or skin:

    Every thing teaches transition, transference, metamorphosis: therein is human power, in transference, not in creation; & therein is human destiny, not in longevity but in removal. We dive & reappear in new places.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    And even so, he’s stale, he’s been there too long.
    Touch him, and you’ll find he’s all gone inside
    just like an old mushroom, all wormy inside, and hollow
    under a smooth skin and an upright appearance.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
