Built Locally

Famous quotes containing the words built and/or locally:

    Nothing not built with hands of course is sacred.
    But here is not a question of what’s sacred;
    Rather of what to face or run away from.
    I’d hate to be a runaway from nature.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    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)
