World

Famous quotes containing the word world:

“The world still wants its poet-priest, a reconciler, who shall not trifle with Shakspeare the player, nor shall grope in graves with Swedenborg the mourner; but who shall see, speak, and act, with equal inspiration. For knowledge will brighten the sunshine; right is more beautiful than private affection; and love is compatible with universal wisdom.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I have Dalinian thought: the one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)

“Smooth flow the waves, the zephyrs gently play,
Belinda smiled, and all the world was gay.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
