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)
“Leadership in todays world requires far more than a large stock of gunboats and a hard fist at the conference table.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (19111978)
