World

Famous quotes containing the word world:

“No longer mourn for me when I am dead
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
Give warning to the world that I am fled
From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell:
Nay, if you read this line, remember not
The hand that writ it; for I love you so,
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
If thinking on me then should make you woe.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“I, a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)

“The embers glowing in his bosom could set the world on fire, but they cannot warm the heart of a single human being.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
