Famous quotes containing the words world and/or soul:
“What staggers me is not the persistence of illusion, but the persistence of the world in the face of illusion.”
—A. G. Mojtabai (b. 1937)
“O who shall from this dungeon raise
A soul enslaved so many ways?
With bolts of bones, that fettered stands
In feet; and manacled in hands:
Here blinded with an eye; and there
Deaf with the drumming of an ear;
A soul hung up, as ‘twere, in chains
Of nerves, and arteries, and veins;”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
