Visible Horizon

Famous quotes containing the words visible and/or horizon:

    I think of consciousness as a bottomless lake, whose waters seem transparent, yet into which we can clearly see but a little way. But in this water there are countless objects at different depths; and certain influences will give certain kinds of those objects an upward influence which may be intense enough and continue long enough to bring them into the upper visible layer. After the impulse ceases they commence to sink downwards.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    However closely people are attached to one another, their mutual horizon nonetheless includes all four compass directions, and now and again they notice it.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
