Famous quotes containing the words the world and/or world:

    I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is “Who in the world am I?” Ah, that’s the great puzzle!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    It is true that men themselves made this world of nations ... but this world without doubt has issued from a mind often diverse, at times quite contrary, and always superior to the particular ends that men had proposed to themselves.
    Giambattista Vico (1688–1744)
