World Beneath

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or beneath:

“On the loftiest throne in the world we are still sitting only on our own rump.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

“It especially helps if you know that we’re all faking our adulthood—even your parents and their parents. Beneath these adult trappings—in our president, in our parents, in you and me—lurk the emotions of a child. If we know that only about ourselves, we become infantile; if we understand that about everybody, then we have nothing to be ashamed of—unless, of course, we go around acting like a child and expecting everyone else to act like grownups.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
