Sharing Corners

Famous quotes containing the words sharing and/or corners:

    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)

    The human heart is like a ship on a stormy sea driven about by winds blowing from all four corners of heaven.
    Martin Luther (1483–1546)
