Local Grocery Stores

Famous quotes containing the words local, grocery and/or stores:

“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)

“Slim inquirer, while the old fathers sleep
you are reworking their soil, you have
a grocery store there down under the earth....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“When their stores are full, idiots are considered wise.”
—Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.
