Locally Destined

Famous quotes containing the words locally and/or destined:

“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)

“But if it is destined never again to grow,
It can blame this limitless trait in the hearts of men.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
