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)

    “When the whole world is writing letters, it’s easy to lap into the quiet within, tell the story of an hour, keep alive the narrating inner life. To be alone in the presence of one’s thought is not a value, only a common practice.”
    —Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)
