#iceberg

No one is fit to judge a book until he has rounded Cape Horn in a sailing vessel, until he has bumped into two or three icebergs, until he has been lost in the sands of the desert, until he has spent a few years in the House of the Dead. ↗

— Van Wyck Brooks

The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water. ↗
