Famous quotes containing the words local and/or names:

    To see ourselves as others see us can be eye-opening. To see others as sharing a nature with ourselves is the merest decency. But it is from the far more difficult achievement of seeing ourselves amongst others, as a local example of the forms human life has locally taken, a case among cases, a world among worlds, that the largeness of mind, without which objectivity is self- congratulation and tolerance a sham, comes.
    Clifford Geertz (b. 1926)

    All the names of good and evil are parables: they do not declare, but only hint. Whoever among you seeks knowledge of them is a fool!
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
