Surface Position

Famous quotes containing the words surface and/or position:

    The surface of the ground in the Maine woods is everywhere spongy and saturated with moisture.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    From a purely external point of view there is no will; and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy; we observe a man’s actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position; or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
