Famous quotes containing the word world:
“You need an infinite stretch of time ahead of you to start to think, infinite energy to make the smallest decision. The world is getting denser. The immense number of useless projects is bewildering. Too many things have to be put in to balance up an uncertain scale. You cant disappear anymore. You die in a state of total indecision.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
