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

    Upon entering my vein, the drug would start a warm edge that would surge along until the brain consumed it in a gentle explosion. It began in the back of the neck and rose rapidly until I felt such pleasure that the world sympathizing took on a soft, lofty appeal.
    Gus Van Sant, U.S. screenwriter and director, and Dan Yost. Bob Hughes (Matt Dillon)

    There were never in the world two opinions alike, any more than two hairs or two grains. Their most universal quality is diversity.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
