Famous quotes containing the words world and/or lines:
“It was a gift that he possessed alone:
To look the world directly in the face;
The face he did not see to be his own.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“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)
