World Lines

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or lines:

    Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just—a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud, and God must forever bless.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    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)
