World Oil

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or oil:

    The true poet is called to take in the splendor of the world and for that reason will always be inclined to praise rather than to find fault.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    His education lay like a film of white oil on the black lake of his barbarian consciousness. For this reason, the things he said were hardly interesting at all. Only what he was.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
