Know how to be small

"Knowing how to be small.—Along with the flowers, the grass and the butterflies, one must know how to descend to the height of the child, who barely surpasses them. But we older people have outgrown these things and we have to bow down to them. I think the grass hates us when we declare the love that it inspires on us. Those who want to participate in all the goods, must know how to be small at certain times." The Wanderer and his shadow, Friedrich Nietzsche.
