Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or world:
“... it is not only our fate but our business to lose innocence, and once we have lost that it is futile to attempt a picnic in Eden.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (18991973)
“Delusions that shrink to the size of a womans glove,
Then sicken inclusively outwards:

—Philip Larkin (19221986)
