Approach

Famous quotes containing the word approach:

    Fishermen, hunters, woodchoppers, and others, spending their lives in the fields and woods, in a peculiar sense a part of Nature themselves, are often in a more favorable mood for observing her, in the intervals of their pursuits, than philosophers or poets even, who approach her with expectation. She is not afraid to exhibit herself to them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems—but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible.
    Salman Rushdie (b. 1948)

    I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
    Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895–1986)
