Famous quotes containing the words world, cup and/or stage:
“We try to go back. You know Ill probably die just a few miles from where I drew my first breath. That would have seemed like a horrible prospect to me, back when I was young and ambitious and gonna set the world on fire. But theres comfort in knowing youre gonna go full circle, end up where you started out. Ive said before that I want to live my last days where folks know when youre sick and care when you die.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (19081973)
“It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (19211990)
“The spectacle of misery grew in its crushing volume. There seemed to be no end to the houses full of hunted starved children. Children with dysentery, children with scurvy, children at every stage of starvation.... We learned to know that the barometer of starvation was the number of children deserted in any community.”
—Mary Heaton Vorse (18741966)
