World Soul

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or soul:

    Hereafter, in a better world than this,
    I shall desire more love and knowledge of you.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragon’s teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
