Famous quotes containing the words provincial and/or cuts:
“In sci-fi convention, life-forms that hadn’t developed space travel were mere prehistory—horse-shoe crabs of the cosmic scene—and something of the humiliation of being stuck on a provincial planet in a galactic backwater has stayed with me ever since.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“Spirit is the life that itself cuts into life: with its own torment it increases its own knowledge. Did you already know that?”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
