Famous quotes containing the words world and/or records:

    “We try to go back. You know I’ll probably die just a few miles from where I drew my first breath. That would have seemed like a horrible prospect to me, back when I was young and ambitious and gonna set the world on fire. But there’s comfort in knowing you’re gonna go full circle, end up where you started out. I’ve said before that I want to live my last days where folks know when you’re sick and care when you die.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “In America, the photographer is not simply the person who records the past, but the one who invents it.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
