Famous quotes containing the word world:

“I know some of my self-worth comes from tennis, and it’s hard to think of doing something else where you know you’ll never be the best.

The definitiveness of it is the beauty of it, but it’s not all there is to life and I’m ready to explore the alternatives.”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)

“They are all gone into the world of light!
And I alone sit ling’ring here;”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

“The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
