Famous quotes containing the words sky and/or survey:
“Suspended lion face
Spilling at the centre
Of an unfurnished sky ...”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“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)
