Surrounding World

Famous quotes containing the words surrounding and/or world:

    Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night ... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.
    Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    In the world there is nothing more submissive and weak than water. Yet for attacking that which is hard and strong nothing can surpass it.
    Lao-Tzu (6th century B.C.)
