World Diamond

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or diamond:

    My mother protected me from the world and my father threatened me with it.
    Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    A poet who makes use of a worse word instead of a better, because the former fits the rhyme or the measure, though it weakens the sense, is like a jeweller, who cuts a diamond into a brilliant, and diminishes the weight to make it shine more.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
