Set World Record

Famous quotes containing the words set, world and/or record:

    A fool, A fool! I met a fool i’ the forest,
    A motley fool. A miserable world!
    As I do live by food, I met a fool,
    Who laid him down and basked him in the sun,
    And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms,
    In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What is he buzzing in my ears?
    ‘Now that I come to die,
    Do I view the world as a vale of tears?’
    Ah, reverend sir, not I!
    Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    Such is the role of poetry. It unveils, in the strict sense of the word. It lays bare, under a light which shakes off torpor, the surprising things which surround us and which our senses record mechanically.
    Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
