World Lines

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or lines:

    The world rolls round,—mistrust it not,—
    Befalls again what once befell;
    All things return, both sphere and mote,
    And I shall hear my bluebird’s note,
    And dream the dream of Auburn dell.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    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)
