Famous quotes containing the words world and/or cultures:

    “My faith shall wax, when thou art in thy waning.
    The world shall find this miracle in me,
    That fire can burn when all the matter’s spent:
    Then what my faith hath been thyself shalt see,
    And that thou wast unkind thou may’st repent.—
    Thou may’st repent that thou hast scorn’d my tears,
    When Winter snows upon thy sable hairs.”
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

    “Because of our social circumstances, male and female are really two cultures and their life experiences are utterly different.”
    —Kate Millet (b. 1934)
