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

    “Is it not the chief disgrace in the world, not to be an unit;Mnot to be reckoned one character;Mnot to yield that peculiar fruit which each man was created to bear, but to be reckoned in the gross, in the hundred, or the thousand, of the party, the section, to which we belong; and our opinion predicted geographically, as the north, or the south?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I am a soul in the world: in
    the world of my soul the whirled
    light from the day
    the sacked land
    of my father.”
    —Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
