World Lines

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or lines:

    In morals, truth is but little prized when it is a mere sentiment, and only attains its full value when realized in the world as fact.
    Ernest Renan (1823–1892)

    To understand
    The signs that stars compose, we need depend
    Only on stars that are entirely there
    And the apparent space between them. There
    Never need be lines between them, puzzling
    Our sense of what is what.
    John Hollander (b. 1929)
