Individual Foil

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or foil:

“Just as the individual is not alone in the group, nor any one in society alone among the others, so man is not alone in the universe.”
—Claude Lévi-Strauss (b. 1908)

“You have waited, you always wait, you dumb, beautiful ministers,
We receive you with free sense at last, and are insatiate
hence-forward,
Not you any more shall be able to foil us, or withhold yourselves
from us,
We use you, and do not cast you aside—we plant you permanently within us,
We fathom you not—we love you—there is perfection in you also,
You furnish your parts, toward eternity,
Great or small, you furnish your parts toward the soul.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
