A Sense of Proportion – Postscript

I suspect I’ve shared the feelings expressed in the cartoon at times.

It was Murray Gell-Mann who said “If I have seen farther than others, it is because I am surrounded by dwarfs”.

And I seem to remember saying that if I haven’t seen as far as others, it’s because I had a dwarf standing on my shoulders.
