Famous quotes containing the words world and/or cup:
“But the world itself has no reason, and I can say so, I who have experienced it all, from the creation to the destruction.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“I write mainly for the kindly race of women. I am their sister, and in no way exempt from their sorrowful lot. I have drank [sic] the cup of their limitations to the dregs, and if my experience can help any sad or doubtful woman to outleap her own shadow, and to stand bravely out in the sunshine to meet her destiny, whatever it may be, I shall have done well; I have not written this book in vain.”
—Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
