Whirligig World

Famous quotes containing the words whirligig and/or world:

    Fives, and tens,
    Threes and fours and twelves,
    All the volte face of decimals,
    The whirligig of dozens and the pinnacle of seven.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is “Who in the world am I?” Ah, that’s the great puzzle!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
