| "From childhood"s hour I have not been As others were; I have not
seen As others saw; I could not bring My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My
heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone. Then- in my
childhood, in the dawn Of a most stormy life- was drawn From every depth of
good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the
fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that round me
rolled In its autumn tint of gold, From the lightning in the sky As it
passed me flying by, From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that
took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my
view." | |

Edgar Allan Poe

| "However much we guard ourselves against it, we tend to shape
ourselves in the image others have of us. It is not so much the example of
others we imitate, as the reflection of ourselves in their eyes and the
echo of ourselves in their words." | |

Eric Hoffer

| "Just as I support my life, neither by robbery nor alms, but by my
own effort, so I do not seek to derive my happiness from the injury or the
favour others of, but earn it by my own achievement. Just as I do not
consider the pleasure of others as the goal of my life, so I do not
consider my pleasure as the goal of the lives of others. Just as there are
no contradictions in my values and no conflicts among my desires ? so there
are no victims and no conflicts of interest among rational men, men who do
not desire the unearned and do not view one another with a cannibal"s
lust, men who neither make sacrifice nor accept them." | |

| "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

|
| "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel
both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I
could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as
fair, And having perhaps the better claim, because it was grassy and wanted
wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the
same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden
black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on
to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with
a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the
difference." | |

Robert Frost
